V'Sham'ru is a prayer sung every Friday evening at Shabbat services. It comes from Exodus 31:16-17, regarding the order to keep Shabbat as a rest, just as G-d promises a time of rest and peace for all people.

Hebrew:

V’shamru v’nei Yisrael et ha-Shabbat,

La’asot et ha-Shabbat l’dorotam, b’rit olam.

Bei-ni u-vein b’nei Yisrael ot hi l’olam.

Ki shei-shet ya-mim ah-sah Adonai,

Et ha-sha-mayim v’et ha’aretz,

uva-yom hashvi’i shavat va-yi-nafash.

English Translation:

The people of Israel shall keep the Sabbath,

observing it in every generation as a covenant for all time.

It is a sign forever between me and the people of Israel,

for in six days the Eternal God made heaven and earth,

and on the seventh day God rested and was refreshed.
