וכל החיים יודוך סלה
AND ALL THE LIVING SHOULD THANK YOU FOREVER
“All the living should thank” – this is both a declaration and a prayer; we declare that all the living are obligated to thank Hashem, and at the same time we pray that the eyes of all men be opened to recognize the truth so that they thank Hashem forever.
We say “all the living”, for it is the obligation of all the living, and it is the true purpose of life, to thank and praise Hashem every day and every moment, forever.
