  Text Translation:
  He will proclaim freedom for all his children / and will keep you as the apple of his eye
  Pleasant is your name and will not be destroyed / repose and rest on the Sabbath day
  Seek my sanctuary and my home / give me a sign of deliverance
  Plant a vine in my vineyard / look to my people, hear their laments
  
  Tread the wine-press in Bozrah / and in Babylon that city of might
  Crush my enemies in anger and fury / on the day when I cry, hear my voice
  Plant, Oh God, in the mountain waste / Fir and acacia, myrtle and elm
  Give to those who teach and to those who obey / abundance peace, like the flow of a river
  
  Repel my enemies, oh zealous God / fill their hearts with fear and despair
  Then we shall open our mouths / and fill our tongues with Your praise
  Know wisdom, that your soul may live / and it shall be a diadem for your brow
  Keep the commandment of your Holy One / observe the Sabbath, your sacred day.
