Peace Upon

Peace upon my enemies
May their cups overflow
May they lack for nothing
Peace upon my friends
May their journey in this life
Be through paradise
May they never enter hell
Peace upon my teachers
May their wisdom be remembered
May their sins be forgotten
May their life be everlasting
Peace upon my critics
May their pens never cease
May their sight be keen
May they merit to join me
Peace upon the righteous
May their light ever increase
May they rise upward like the cedar of lebanon
May their song double, triple,
Resound in four-part harmony
Peace upon my leaders
May their hearts be made of flesh
May they be guided from above in the darkest hours
May they return from love with the dawn’s light
Peace upon my victims
May their suffering be short
May their patience be rewarded
May we be purified together of our folly
Peace upon you, my friend
May you ever dwell in the house of the eternal
Peace upon me, my friend
May I never stop speaking your name
