I was just thinking about this prayer we say at the end of every service... It is another one which I hold in high esteem like Adon Olam in that it helps us understand the 'nature' of Hashem {if it can be understood by humans}. This is one of the prayers during which we bow down {during the high holidays we prostrate ourselves}.
עלינו לשבח לאדון הכל
1 It is our duty to praise the Master of all,
2 to acclaim the greatness of the One who forms all creation,
3 For God did not make us like the nations of other lands,
4 and did not make us the same as other families of the Earth.
5 God did not place us in the same situations as others,
6 and our destiny is not the same as anyone else's.
7 (For they bow to vanity and emptiness
8 and pray to a god which helps not.)
9 And we bend our knees, and bow down, and give thanks,
10 before the King, the King of Kings,
11 the Holy One, Blessed is He.
12 The One who spread out the heavens,and made the foundations of the Earth,
13 and whose precious dwelling is in the heavens above,
14 and whose powerful Presence is in the highest heights.
15 He is our God, there is none else.
16 Our King is truth, and nothing else compares.
17 As it is written in Your Torah:
18 "And you shall know today, and take to heart,
19 that HASHEM is the only God,
20 in the heavens above
21 and on Earth below. There is no other."
