Okay - I'm just getting the hang of this stuff; can I make it an imperative?
"yIrojqu'"

I understand the meaning of shalom; I'm trying to figure out how one says
"perfect peace" in Isaiah 26.3 [shalom shalom; no I didn't *do* 25 chapters,
I just like that verse, luq'a'?]. What about yIrojqu'? "REALLY make peace!"
yIrojqu'
Joel.
My initial stab at "Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed
on thee, because he trusteth in thee" is too terse, but looks like:
Dapol rojDaq DuqIm, Duvoqmo'
or should that be:
DuqImwI' Dapol rojDaq, Duvoqmo'
