<P> Because of the doubt as to the necessity of this blessing, it is followed by a statement of praise, so as not to have uttered God's name in vain: </P> <P> בָּרוּךְ שֵׁם כְּבוֹד מַלְכוּתוֹ לְעוֹלָם וָעֶד. ‬ </P> <P> Transliteration: Barukh shem k'vod malkhuto l'olam va'ed . </P> <P> Translation: "Blessed is the Name of His glorious kingdom for ever and ever ." </P>

Blessed are you lord god king of the universe
