A song of the ascents: of David.{HR}I was glad in [those] saying unto me,{HR}To Jehovah’s house we will go.
Our feet are standing in thy gates,{HR}O Jerusalem,
Jerusalem, that art built as a city{HR}Which is compact together;
Whither tribes go up, tribes of Jah:{HR}A testimony for Israel to give thanks unto Jehovah’s name.
For there are set thrones for judgment,{HR}Thrones for David’s house.
Pray for Jerusalem’s peace:{HR}May they prosper that love thee.
Peace be within thy bulwark,{HR}Prosperity within thy palaces.
For my brethren and companions’ sake,{HR}Let me now speak, Peace [be] within thee.
For the sake of the house of Jehovah our God,{HR}I will seek thy good.
