'Amidah: First 3 Blessings
(ד) וַיַּ֥רְא ה' כִּ֣י סָ֣ר לִרְא֑וֹת וַיִּקְרָא֩ אֵלָ֨יו אֱלֹקִ֜ים מִתּ֣וֹךְ הַסְּנֶ֗ה וַיֹּ֛אמֶר מֹשֶׁ֥ה מֹשֶׁ֖ה וַיֹּ֥אמֶר הִנֵּֽנִי׃ (ה) וַיֹּ֖אמֶר אַל־תִּקְרַ֣ב הֲלֹ֑ם שַׁל־נְעָלֶ֙יךָ֙ מֵעַ֣ל רַגְלֶ֔יךָ כִּ֣י הַמָּק֗וֹם אֲשֶׁ֤ר אַתָּה֙ עוֹמֵ֣ד עָלָ֔יו אַדְמַת־קֹ֖דֶשׁ הֽוּא׃ (ו) וַיֹּ֗אמֶר אָנֹכִי֙ אֱלֹקֵ֣י אָבִ֔יךָ אֱלֹקֵ֧י אַבְרָהָ֛ם אֱלֹקֵ֥י יִצְחָ֖ק וֵאלֹקֵ֣י יַעֲקֹ֑ב וַיַּסְתֵּ֤ר מֹשֶׁה֙ פָּנָ֔יו כִּ֣י יָרֵ֔א מֵהַבִּ֖יט אֶל־הָאֱלֹהִֽים׃

(4) When Adonai saw that he [Moses] had turned aside to look, God called to him out of the bush: “Moses! Moses!” He answered, “Here I am.” (5) And He said, “Do not come closer. Remove your sandals from your feet, for the place on which you stand is holy ground. (6) I am,” He said, “the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” And Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look at God.

(יד) סוֹמֵ֣ךְ ה' לְכָל־הַנֹּפְלִ֑ים וְ֝זוֹקֵ֗ף לְכָל־הַכְּפוּפִֽים׃

(14) Adonai supports all who stumble, and makes upright all who are bent.

(ז) עֹשֶׂ֤ה מִשְׁפָּ֨ט ׀ לָעֲשׁוּקִ֗ים נֹתֵ֣ן לֶ֭חֶם לָרְעֵבִ֑ים ה' מַתִּ֥יר אֲסוּרִֽים׃ (ח) ה' ׀ פֹּ֘קֵ֤חַ עִוְרִ֗ים ה' זֹקֵ֣ף כְּפוּפִ֑ים ה' אֹהֵ֥ב צַדִּיקִֽים׃ (ט) ה' ׀ שֹׁ֘מֵ֤ר אֶת־גֵּרִ֗ים יָת֣וֹם וְאַלְמָנָ֣ה יְעוֹדֵ֑ד וְדֶ֖רֶךְ רְשָׁעִ֣ים יְעַוֵּֽת׃

...(7) who secures justice for those who are wronged, gives food to the hungry. Adonai sets prisoners free; (8) Adonai opens the eyes of the blind; Adonai makes upright those who are bent; Adonai loves the righteous; (9) Adonai watches over the stranger; He gives courage to the orphan and widow, but contorts the path of the wicked.

(1) In the year that King Uzziah died, I beheld my Lord seated on a high and lofty throne; and the skirts of His robe filled the Temple. (2) Seraphs stood in attendance on Him. Each of them had six wings: with two he covered his face, with two he covered his legs, and with two he would fly. (3) And one would call to the other, “Holy, holy, holy! Adonai of Hosts! His presence fills all the earth!” (4) The doorposts would shake at the sound of the one who called, and the House kept filling with smoke. (5) I cried, “Woe is me; I am lost! For I am a man of unclean lips and I reside among a people of unclean lips; Yet my own eyes have beheld the King Adonai of Hosts.” (6) Then one of the seraphs flew over to me with a live coal, which he had taken from the altar with a pair of tongs. (7) He touched it to my lips and declared, “Now that this has touched your lips, Your guilt shall depart And your sin be purged away.” (8) Then I heard the voice of my Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? Who will go for us?” And I said, “Here am I; send me.”

(יב) וַתִּשָּׂאֵ֣נִי ר֔וּחַ וָאֶשְׁמַ֣ע אַחֲרַ֔י ק֖וֹל רַ֣עַשׁ גָּד֑וֹל בָּר֥וּךְ כְּבוֹד־ה' מִמְּקוֹמֽוֹ׃ (יג) וְק֣וֹל ׀ כַּנְפֵ֣י הַחַיּ֗וֹת מַשִּׁיקוֹת֙ אִשָּׁ֣ה אֶל־אֲחוֹתָ֔הּ וְק֥וֹל הָאוֹפַנִּ֖ים לְעֻמָּתָ֑ם וְק֖וֹל רַ֥עַשׁ גָּדֽוֹל׃ (יד) וְר֥וּחַ נְשָׂאַ֖תְנִי וַתִּקָּחֵ֑נִי וָאֵלֵ֥ךְ מַר֙ בַּחֲמַ֣ת רוּחִ֔י וְיַד־ה' עָלַ֖י חָזָֽקָה׃

(12) Then a spirit carried me away, and behind me I heard a great roaring sound: “Blessed is the Presence of Adonai, in His place,” (13) with the sound of the wings of the creatures beating against one another, and the sound of the wheels beside them—a great roaring sound. (14) A spirit seized me and carried me away. I went in bitterness, in the fury of my spirit, while the hand of Adonai was strong upon me.

(א) הַֽלְלוּ־יָ֡הּ הַלְלִ֥י נַ֝פְשִׁ֗י אֶת־ה' (ב) אֲהַלְלָ֣ה ה' בְּחַיָּ֑י אֲזַמְּרָ֖ה לֵֽאלֹקַ֣י בְּעוֹדִֽי׃ ...

(1) Hallelujah. Praise Adonai, O my soul! (2) I will praise Adonai all my life, sing hymns to my God while I exist. ...(6) maker of heaven and earth, the sea and all that is in them; who keeps faith forever; (7) who secures justice for those who are wronged, gives food to the hungry. Adonai sets prisoners free; (8) Adonai restores sight to the blind; Adonai makes upright those who are bent; Adonai loves the righteous; (9) Adonai watches over the stranger; He gives courage to the orphan and widow, but contorts the path of the wicked. (10) Adonai will reign forever, your God, O Zion, for all generations. Hallelujah.

(כב) לֹֽא־יָמִ֞ישׁ עַמּ֤וּד הֶֽעָנָן֙ יוֹמָ֔ם וְעַמּ֥וּד הָאֵ֖שׁ לָ֑יְלָה לִפְנֵ֖י הָעָֽם׃ (פ)

(22) The pillar of cloud by day and the pillar of fire by night did not depart from before the people.

ז:ב כיון שעלה דוד לבית המקדש שברקיע מוכן לו כסא של אש שהוא ארבעים פרסאות גובה כפלים ארכו וכפלים רחבו כיון שבא דוד וישב לו על הכסא שמוכן לו כנגד כסא קונו וכל מלכי בית דוד יושבין לפניו וכל מלכי ישראל יושבין מאחריו מיד עמד דוד ואמר שירות ותשבחות שלא שמען אדם מעולם וכיון שפתח דוד ואמר ימלוך ה' לעולם (שם) פתח מטטרו"ן וכל פמליא שלו קדוש קדוש קדוש ה' צבאות והחיות משבחות ואומרות ברוך כבוד ה' ממקומו (יחזקאל ג' יב) ורקיעים אומרים ימלוך ה' לעולם (תהלים קמו) והארץ אומרת ה' מלך ה' מלך וכל מלכי בית דוד והיה ה' למלך על כל הארץ (זכריה יד ט)

Sefer Hekhalot Rabbati ("The Great Book of Celestial Palaces")

7:2 When David would ascend to the Temple in the firmament, a chair of fire was prepared for him, 40 parasangs high [approx. 150 miles], and double the length and double the width.

When David approached and sat on the chair that was prepared for him opposite his God [lit. "possessor"], and all the kings of the House of David sat before him and all the kings of Israel sat behind him, David would immediately stand up and utter songs and praises that no human had ever heard.

When David began and said, "Adonai will reign forever" (Ps. 146:10), Metatron and his entourage would begin, "Holy, holy, holy is Adonai of Hosts." (Is. 6:3) The creatures would praise and say, "Blessed is Adonai's glorious presence from His place." (Ezek. 3:12) The firmaments would say, "Adonai will reign forever." (Ps. 146:10) The earth would say, "Adonai is Ruler, Adonai reigned," and all the kings of the House of David, "And Adonai will be Ruler of all the earth." (Zech. 14:9)
