Translation based on the Metsudah linear siddur, by Avrohom Davis, 1981

Yishtabach

Praised be Your Name forever, our King, Almighty the great and holy King in heaven and on earth. For to You it is fitting [to offer] Adonoy, our God, and God of our fathers, song and praise, glorification and hymns, [to proclaim Your] strength and dominion, victory, grandeur, and might, praise and glory, holiness and sovereignty, blessings and thanksgivings, from now and forever. Blessed are You, Adonoy, Almighty, King [Who is] great in [our] praise Almighty, of [to Whom we offer our] thanksgiving, Master of [Whom we praise for His] wonders, the Selector of song-hymns, You are the King, Almighty, Life of [all] the worlds.

Your praise is unlimited in terms of time; You will be praised forever.—Ya’avetz

Your praise is unlimited in terms of place; You will be praised in heaven as well as on earth.—Ya’avetz

Fifteen words of praise and adoration are enumerated. Hebrew is remarkably rich in the vocabulary of adoration and worship. As Latin is the language of war and Greek of oratory, so is Hebrew the language of prayer.—Midrash

These lines were adapted from the explanation of the Tzelosa d’Avrohom.
