1 [A Song of degrees. Of David.] I rejoiced when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of Jehovah.

2 Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem.

3 Jerusalem, which art built as a city that is compact together,

4 Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of Jah, a testimony to 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 bulwarks, prosperity within thy palaces.

8 For my brethren and companions' sakes I will say, Peace be within thee!

9 Because of the house of Jehovah our God I will seek thy good.

1 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.
