Shalom Aleichem

Translation

Peace be unto you, ministering angels,
messengers of the Most High,
The King of kings, the Holy One,
blessed be He.

May your coming be in peace, messengers of peace,
messengers of the Most High,
The King of kings, the Holy One,
blessed be He.

Bless me with peace, messengers of peace,
messengers of the Most High,
The King of kings, the Holy One,
blessed be He.

May your departure be in peace, messengers of peace,
messengers of the Most High,
The King of kings, the Holy One,
blessed be He.
