- 1
- A Song of the Ascents, by David.
I have rejoiced in those saying to me, `To the house of Jehovah we go.'
- 2
- Our feet have been standing in thy gates, O Jerusalem!
- 3
- Jerusalem — the builded one — [Is] as a city that is joined to itself together.
- 4
- For thither have tribes gone up, Tribes of Jah, companies of Israel, To give thanks to the name of Jehovah.
- 5
- For there have sat thrones of judgment, Thrones of the house of David.
- 6
- Ask ye the peace of Jerusalem, At rest are those loving thee.
- 7
- Peace is in thy bulwark, rest in thy high places,
- 8
- For the sake of my brethren and my companions, Let me speak, I pray thee, `Peace [be] in thee.'
- 9
- For the sake of the house of Jehovah our God, I seek good for thee!
