And give you peace."

This is beautiful, but whose translation is it?
ReplyDeleteHi RWP ~ Sorry for the delay in answering; I was away from home for a couple of days. I have always loved this prayer, so I looked up the words in different Bible translations, and an online language translation. It isn't always easy to find exact translations for some words, so I chose words based on their meaning or the poetic feel they lend to the idea of the this prayer.
