However, let us remember that person for his goodness, the esteemed and revered Rabbi, like Meir Barbi, may his light shine, the Av Beit Din (head of the rabbinical court) of the holy congregation of P"V. He stood in the breach and fortified it in his place. May the Lord be with him, and may his peace rise like a banner above all.
And despite all this, He did not let my feet stumble. The Lord is my helper, and I shall gaze upon my enemies. Whoever wishes evil upon us, may he be cursed in the upper realms, and may he find no support in the lower realms. I will give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His loving kindness endures forever. He has shown His great kindness to me in times of siege, preserving and sustaining me. With His abundant kindness and abundant mercy, He has brought me to old age. In Him, my heart trusts, even in old age and gray hair, He will not forsake me. May my old age not bring shame upon my youth, nor consume the vitality of my ancestors. May I and my descendants be counted among the righteous who shine like stars forever and ever.
