Chapter 4, Section 5 (פֶּרֶק ד׳ אוֹת ה׳)

5 Who is like our King in all His exaltedness? (ה מִי כְמַלְכֵּנוּ בְּכָל גֵּאָה), the One who seizes (תוֹפֵשׂ), who is like our Creator? (מִי כְּיוֹצְרֵנוּ), who is like our King? (מִי כְמַלְכֵּנוּ), who is like our God? (מִי כֵּאלֹקֵינוּ), and who is like Him in the binding of crowns? (וּמִי כָּמֹהוּ בְּקֶשֶׁר כְּתָרִים), who, with six voices, is praised before Him (מִי בְּשִׁשָּׁה קוֹלוֹת מְשׁוֹרְרִים לְפָנָיו), by the ministering ones and the measures (מְשָׁרְתֵי וּמִדּוֹת), bearers of His Throne of Glory (נוֹשְׂאֵי כִּסֵּא כְּבוֹדוֹ), the Keruvim and the Ofanim and the Holy Living Creatures (הַכְּרוּבִים וְהָאוֹפַנִּים וְחַיּוֹת הַקֹּדֶשׁ), that with each voice that is higher than the one before it (שֶׁבְּכָל קוֹל שֶׁלְּמַעְלָה מִשֶּׁל חֲבֵרוֹ), the first is from before Him (רִאשׁוֹנָה מִשֶּׁלְּפָנָיו).
