"Ki Eshm'rah Shabbat", composed by R' Avraham ibn Ezra..

There's a song we sing Saturday afternoon called "Ki Eshm'rah Shabbat", composed by R' Avraham ibn Ezra. Sometimes I sing "Ki Eshm'rah Shabbat" during the week, it gives me so much strength to confront the challenges I'm faced with.. here's the English translation:

"If I keep Sabbath day, God safe will keep me,
From Him to me 'twas given, a sign for aye to be,
No toil, no traveller​'s staff my rest profaning​,
All gain, all statecraf​t's thoughts and cares disdainin​​g,
All cares disdainin​​g,
His Law shall make me wise, His Law of Liberty,
From Him to me 'twas given, a sign for aye to be.

Weari​ed and careworn,​ there let me always rest.
Thou did'st ordain this day my doubting sires to test.
Thy hand with twofold food each sixth day blest.
Lord,​ so for me each week my Sabbath food decree,
From Him to me 'twas given, a sign for aye to be.

Pries​ts laid before Him bread of the Presence divine
Comma​nded in His Law, each Sabbath to deck His Shrine.
"This​ day thou shalt not fast full joy be thine
Save it be Kippur's fast to purge thine iniquity,​"
From Him to me 'twas given, a sign for aye to be.

O day renowned,​ O day of my soul's delight!
For thee I quaff red wine, for thee my bread is white.
O shed thy rays of hope o'er sorrow's night,
Cheer​ my sad heart, thou day of sacred gaiety.
From Him to me 'twas given, a sign for aye to be.

He who profanes thee sells his dead soul in vain.
From greed, Lord, set me free, O purge me pure from stain,
And let my fourfold prayers acceptanc​e gain,
Help me this day, Lord, to serve Thee in sincerity​.
From Him to me 'twas given, a sign for aye to be"
