Ani esh’al shevah ha'el (I will pray for the praise of the Lord)

Nashid by an unknown poet on the sanctity of the Sabbath and in praise of God.

Sung by the brothers Haim and Dani Cohen with the Kiryat Ono men and children's ensemble. The soloist begins by singing the whole of the first verse, and the ensemble replies with a repetitive response, beginning with the closing hemistich of this verse. Thereafter the soloist sings every hemistich, with a repetitive response from the ensemble (Bahat, 1995: 86).
