1 - A Song of Ascents; of David. I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go unto the house of Jehovah.
2 - Our feet are standing Within thy gates, O Jerusalem,
3 - Jerusalem, that art builded As a city that is compact together;
4 - Whither the tribes go up, even the tribes of Jehovah, [For] an ordinance for Israel, To give thanks unto the name of Jehovah.
5 - For there are set thrones for judgment, The thrones of the house of David.
6 - Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: They shall prosper that love thee.
7 - Peace be within thy walls, And prosperity within thy palaces.
8 - For my brethren and companions' sakes, I will now say, Peace be within thee.
9 - For the sake of the house of Jehovah our God I will seek thy good.
