Welcoming Shabbat with "Mizmor Shir L'Yom HaShabbat" by Carmit Esther Shaham

Today we're welcoming Shabbat with Psalm 92, Mizmor Shir L'Yom HaShabbat. The song is part of the Kabbalat Shabbat service. It's sung here by Carmit Esther Shaham, an Israeli singer and songwriter, from her debut album of songs for Shabbat.

The Hebrew text of the first two verses of this liturgical poem is:

 טוֹב לְהֹדוֹת לַיהוָה
וּלְזַמֵּר לְשִׁמְךָ עֶלְיוֹן
לְהַגִּיד בַּבֹּקֶר חַסְדֶּךָ וֶאֱמוּנָתְךָ בַּלֵּילוֹת

The English translation is:
It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord, and to sing praises unto Thy name, O Most High; 

To declare Thy lovingkin​dness in the morning, and Thy faithfuln​ess in the night seasons.

Enjoy, and Shabbat shalom!
