1
A Song of Ascents. Of David. I was glad when they said to me, "Let us go into the house of the Lord."
2
Our feet have been standing Within your gates, O Jerusalem!
3
Jerusalem is built As a city that is compact together,
4
Where the tribes go up, The tribes of the Lord, To the Testimony of Israel, To give thanks to the name of the Lord.
5
For thrones are set there for judgment, The thrones of the house of David.
6
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: "May they prosper who love you.
7
Peace be within your walls, Prosperity within your palaces."
8
For the sake of my brethren and companions, I will now say, "Peace be within you."
9
Because of the house of the Lord our God I will seek your good.
