A Song of Ascents. By David.

1 I was glad when they said to me,

"Let’s go to Yahweh’s house!"

2 Our feet are standing within your gates, Jerusalem!

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

4 where the tribes go up, even Yah’s tribes,

according to an ordinance for Israel,

to give thanks to Yahweh’s name.

5 For there are set thrones for judgment,

the thrones of David’s house.

6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.

Those who love you will prosper.

7 Peace be within your walls,

and prosperity within your palaces.

8 For my brothers’ and companions’ sakes,

I will now say, "Peace be within you."

9 For the sake of the house of Yahweh our God,

I will seek your good.

1 人对我说: "我们到耶和华的殿那里去", 我就欢喜。(本节在《马索拉抄本》包括细字标题)

2 耶路撒冷啊! 我们的脚正站在你的门内。

3 耶路撒冷被建造, 好像一座结构完整的城巿。

4 众支派, 就是耶和华的支派, 都上那里去; 照着以色列的定例, 称颂耶和华的名。

5 因为在那里设有审判的宝座, 就是大卫家的宝座。

6 你们要为耶路撒冷求平安, 说: "耶路撒冷啊! 愿爱你的人都亨通。

7 愿你的城墙内有平安, 愿你的宫殿中有安稳。"

8 为了我的兄弟和朋友的缘故, 我要说: "愿你中间有平安。"

9 为了耶和华我们 神的殿的缘故, 我要为你求福乐。
