1 I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORD.

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

3 Jerusalem is builded as a city that is compact together:

4 Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, unto the testimony of Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the LORD.

5 For there are set thrones of 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 Because of the house of the LORD our God I will seek thy good.

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!
