The facing German page opens the prayer to German-speaking readers

This page gives the German translation beside the Hebrew morning service in Paul’s machzor. The bilingual design made inherited liturgy accessible within a German-speaking household. It shows what the book offered, but not how Paul balanced the two languages in prayer.

Transcription

Morgengebet Gelobt sei, der da sprach, und es ward das All... Danket dem Ewigen, ruft seinen Namen an, verkündet unter den Völkern seine Taten...

English translation

Morning Prayer. Blessed is He who spoke and the world came into being; blessed is He. Blessed is He who created the world in the beginning; blessed is He who speaks and acts; blessed is He who decrees and fulfills; blessed is He who has mercy on the earth; blessed is He who has mercy on all creatures; blessed is He who gives a good reward to those who fear Him; blessed is He who lives forever and endures eternally; blessed is He who redeems and saves; blessed is His name. Blessed are You, Eternal One our God, King of the universe, merciful Father, praised by the mouth of His people, lauded and glorified by the tongue of His faithful servants. With the songs of David, Your servant, we will praise You, Eternal One our God, with praises and songs. We will magnify, praise and glorify You, proclaim Your name and acknowledge Your sovereignty, our King, our God, the One, the Life of the worlds. Praised and glorified is His great name forever and ever. Blessed are You, Eternal One, King extolled with songs of praise. Give thanks to the Eternal One; call upon His name; make His deeds known among the peoples. Sing to Him, make music to Him; speak of all His wonders. Glory in His holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the Eternal One rejoice. Seek the Eternal One and His strength; seek His presence continually. Remember the wonders He has done, His marvels and the judgments of His mouth. Descendants of Israel, His servant; children of Jacob, His chosen ones: He is the Eternal One our God; His judgments are throughout the earth. Remember His covenant forever, the word He commanded for a thousand generations, which He made with Abraham and swore to Isaac. [The photographed page ends mid-sentence.]
