V’shamru v’nei yisrael et ha-shabbat, la’asot
et ha-shabbat l’dorotam b’rit olam. Beini
u-vein b’nei yisrael ot hi l’olam, ki sheshet
yamim asah Adonai et ha-shamayim v’et haaretz,
uva-yom ha-sh’vi∙i shavat va-yinafash.
The people Israel shall observe Shabbat,
to maintain it as an everlasting covenant
throughout all generations. It is a sign
between Me and the people Israel for all
time, that in six days the Lord made the
heavens and the earth and on the seventh
day God ceased from work and rested.

Mizmor shir l’yom ha-shabbat.
Tov l’hodot l’Adonai, u-l’zameir l’shimkha
elyon.
L’hagid ba-boker hasdekha, ve’emunat’kha
ba-leilot.
Alei asor va’alei navel, alei higayon b’khinor.
Tzadik ka-tamar yifrah, ka-erez bal’vanon

A Song for Shabbat. It is good to thank God,
to sing Your praise, exalted God, to proclaim
Your love each morning, to tell of your
faithfulness each night, to music of the lute
and melody of the harp. The righteous shall
flourish like the palm tree; they shall thrive
like the cedar in Lebanon.
