Keep Shabbat and remember Shabbat, God said all at once
Resting and celebrating; stopping and rejoicing -- time to stop and be, and to climb toward vistas
 Psalm 92
According to one midrash, this is the first song ever written. It was composed by Adam and Eve on the
occasion of their first Shabbat in the Garden of Eden, after they had made their first mistake and stayed up all
night talking with each other about it. And also about good and evil, their own human natures, and God. Read
the poem anew with that background. (Translation based on Siddur Kol Haneshama)

A song of the day of Shabbat:

A good thing to thank Adonai
To sing to Your name, Elevated One

To tell about Your generosity in the morning, Your faithfulness every night

On ten-stringed instrument and on flute, with melodies composed for the harp

For You elate me, Adonai, with Your deeds

I’ll sing about the works of Your hands

How great are the things You have made, Adonai

Your thoughts are exceedingly deep

A foolish person won’t know; a shallow one won’t understand it

As the wicked are growing fast like grass, and evildoers are sprouting everyone
They are destroyed for all time

But You are lifted high, forever

Look, your enemies, Adonai -- look, your enemies are vanishing
All evildoers are scattering

But my horn You raise like a triumphant ox

I am annointed with fresh oil

My eyes gaze in victory against my enemies

on all who rise to harm me
my ears are hearing it too

The righteous flourish like palm trees

They grow tall like a cedar in Lebanon
Planted in the house of Adonai
They bear fruit in the courts of our God
Even in old age they bear fruit
They’ll be ever fresh and fragrant
To tell that Adonai is just
My Rock, Who has no flaw
