To meet the Sabbath come, let us go, for she is the source of blessing, from the beginning
from of old she was anointed, last in deed but first in thought

Said
Rabbi Eleazar said Rabbi —
Hanina, disciples

in the world, as it is said: And all
your children shall be taught of the Lord; and great

For the sake of my brothers and friends, I will now say, 'Peace be within you.' For the sake of the house of the Lord our God, I will seek your good.
And see children to your children; peace be upon Israel. Great peace have they who love Your Torah, and there is no
stumbling block for them. The Lord will give strength to His people; the Lord will bless His people with peace. ⟦line⟧

In the wilderness, in a desert way, they found no city to dwell in; hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted within them.
Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble, and He delivered them out of their distresses. And He led them forth by the right way, that they might go
to a city of habitation. Let them praise the Lord for His goodness, and for His wonderful works to the children of men! For He satisfied the longing soul,
and filled the hungry soul with goodness. Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron; because
they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the counsel of the Most High: therefore He brought down their heart with labor; they fell down, and there was none
to help. Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble, and He saved them out of their distresses. He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death,
and brake their bands in sunder. Let them praise the Lord for His goodness, and for His wonderful works to the children of men! For He hath broken
the gates of brass, and cut the bars of iron in sunder. Fools because of their transgression,
and because of their iniquities, are afflicted. Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat; and they draw near unto the gates of death.
Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble, and He saveth them out of their distresses. He sent His word,
and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions. Let them praise the Lord for His goodness, and for His wonderful works to the children of men!
And let them sacrifice
