Chapter 11, Section 4 (פֶּרֶק י״א אוֹת ד׳)

4. In the place where they mention Him (ד. בַּמָּקוֹם שֶׁמַּזְכִּירִין אוֹתוֹ), it shines and radiates, glows and silvers (מֵאִיר וּמַזְרִיחַ מַזְהִיר וּמְכַסִּיף), and stirs up topaz and diamond, sapphire, ruby, and emerald, and pure alabaster (וְעוֹרֵר פִּטְדָה וִיהָלוֹם סַפִּיר נֹפֶךְ וּבָרֶקֶת וְשֵׁשׁ טָהוֹר), for wondrous and strange is the great Name (כִּי מֻפְלָא וּמְשֻׁנֶּה גָּדוֹל שֵׁם), through which were created the heavens and the earth (שֶׁנִּבְרָא בוֹ שָׁמַיִם וָאָרֶץ), and all the orders of Bereishit were contained and suspended in it (וְנִתְבַּלְּמוּ וְנִתְלֲמוּ בוֹ כָּל סִדְרֵי בְּרֵאשִׁית), as the matter that is said: “Holy, holy, holy is Hashem...” (כְּדָבָר שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר קָדוֹשׁ קָדוֹשׁ קָדוֹשׁ ה׳ וגו׳). Be exalted, O masters of exaltation! (הִתְגַּבְּהוּ בַּעֲלֵי רוֹמֵמָה), prevail, O masters of might! (הִתְגַּבְּרוּ בַּעֲלֵי גְבוּרָה), exalt yourselves, exalt yourselves, O masters of pride! (הִתְגָּאוּ הִתְגָּאוּ בַּעֲלֵי גַּאֲוָה), be lifted up, be lifted up, O masters of radiance! (הִתְנַשְּׂאוּ הִתְנַשְּׂאוּ בַּעֲלֵי זֵהָיוֹן), for to Molcho shel Olam alone (כִּי לְמַלְכּוֹ שֶׁל עוֹלָם בִּלְבַד), and to all His ministers, belong exaltation, might, pride, and radiance (וּלְכָל מְשָׁרְתָיו רוֹמֵמָה גְּבוּרָה וְגַאֲוָה וְזֵהָיוֹן), for to the servants of His majesty it is fitting to be exalted (כִּי לְמְשָׁרְתֵי גַּאוֹנוֹ נָאֶה לְהִתְגָּאוֹת), and to the bearers of His Throne it is fitting to prevail (וּלְמֵנַטְּלֵי כִּסְאוֹ רָאוּי לְהִתְגַּבֵּר).
