εὐλογητὸς εἶ κύριε ὁ θεὸς τῶν πατέρων ἡμῶν καὶ αἰνετὸς καὶ ὑπερυψούμενος εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας καὶ εὐλογημένον τὸ ὄνομα τῆς δόξης σου τὸ ἅγιον καὶ ὑπεραινετὸν καὶ ὑπερυψούμενον εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας
Blessed are you, O Lord, God of our fathers, and praised and highly exalted forever; and blessed is the holy name of your glory, highly praised and highly exalted forever.
The hymn opens with direct blessing of the Lord before any summons is issued to creation. In the Odes setting this establishes that cosmic praise begins from God's own glory rather than from the needs of the worshipers.
