For the sake of my brethren and my companions, Let me speak, I pray thee, `Peace `be' in thee.'
A companion I `am' to all who fear Thee, And to those keeping Thy precepts.
For the holy ones who `are' in the land, And the honourable, all my delight `is' in them.
These I remember, and pour out my soul in me, For I pass over into the booth, I go softly with them unto the house of God, With the voice of singing and confession, The multitude keeping feast!
and said thus: To life! and thou, peace; and thy house, peace; and all that thou hast -- peace!
