Shema - Based on the Jewish prayer

 

Hear O Israel!

The Lord our God.

The Lord is One.

Blessed be the name

of His glorious kingdom,

forever and ever.

 

And you shall love

the Lord your God

with all your heart,

with all your soul

and with all your strength.

And from this day

these commandments

shall be in your heart.

 

You shall teach them

to your children.

You shall speak of them

when you are sat at home

and when you walk along

and when you lie down

and when you rise up.

 

And you shall bind them

around your hand as a sign

and they shall be like jewels

upon your forehead,

and you shall write them

on the gates to your house

and on your door posts.
