Peace upon you, ministering angels, messengers of the Most High,
sent by the king, King of Kings, the Holy One, Blessed be He.

Come in peace, messengers of peace, messengers of the Most High,
sent by the king, King of Kings, the Holy One, Blessed be He.

Bless me with peace, messengers of peace, messengers of the Most High,
sent by the king, King of Kings, the Holy One, Blessed be He.

Go in peace, messengers of peace, messengers of the Most High,
sent by the king, King of Kings, the Holy One, Blessed be He.
