Ki Eshmera Shabbat (Because I Guard the Sabbath)

Because I guard the Sabbath, God guards me

It is a sign for eternity between Him and me

It is forbidden to seek to do ordinary things

Discussing only what is necessary

On (Shabbat) I always find peace for my soul

Behold, for the first generation He gave its holiness

Because I guard the Sabbath, God guards me

It is a sign for eternity between Him and me
