45 1 From his descendants the Lord brought forth a man of mercy,
who found favour in the sight of all flesh
and was beloved by God and man,
Moses, whose memory is blessed.
45 2 He made him equal in glory to the holy ones,
and made him great in the fears of his enemies.
45 3 By his words he caused signs to cease;
the Lord glorified him in the presence of kings.
He gave him commands for his people,
and showed him part of his glory.
45 4 He sanctified him through faithfulness and meekness;
he chose him out of all mankind.
45 5 He made him hear his voice,
and led him into the thick darkness,
and gave him the commandments face to face,
the law of life and knowledge,
to teach Jacob the covenant,
and Israel his judgments.
