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.2015-09-1402 min

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.
