Mas1k Frag. 1
A text belonging to the Instructor. The song accompanying the sacrifice on the seventh Sabbath, sung on the sixteenth of the [second] month. Praise the most high God, you who are exalted among all
the wise divine beings. Let those who are holy among the godlike sanctify the glorious King, He who sanctifies by His holiness each of His holy ones. You princes of praise
among all the godlike, praise the God of majestic [pr]aise. Surely the glory of His kingdom resides in praiseworthy splendor; therein are held the praises of all
the godlike, together with the splendor of [His] entire rea[lm.] Lift His exaltation on high, you godlike among the exalted divine beings—His glorious divinity above
all the highest heavens. Surely He [is the utterly divine] over all the exalted princes, King of king[s] over all the eternal councils. By the wise will—

the G[od a]wesome in power, [all you] wise [spirits] of light; together laud the utterly brilliant firmament that girds [His] holy temple.
[Praise] Him, godli[ke] spirits, laud[ing] eternally the firmament of the uttermost heaven, all [its bea]ms and walls, all
its [stru]cture and crafted desi[gn.] The utterly holy spirits, living divinities, eternally holy spirits above
all the hol[y ones …] wondrous and wonderful, majesty and splendor and marvel. Glory abides in the perfected light of knowledge
[… in a]ll the wondrous temples, divine spirits surrounding the abode of the righteous and true King. All its walls […]
