A SONG OF ASCENTS. OF DAVID.
1 I was glad when they said to me,
“Let us go to the house of Yahweh!”
2 Our feet have been standing
within your gates, O Jerusalem!
3 Jerusalem—built as a city
that is bound firmly together,
4 to which the tribes go up,
the tribes of Yahweh,
as was decreed for Israel,
to give thanks to the name of Yahweh.
5 There thrones for judgment were set,
the thrones of the house of David.
6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!
“May they be secure who love you!
7 Peace be within your walls
and security within your towers!”
8 For my brothers and companions’ sake
I will say, “Peace be within you!”
9 For the sake of the house of Yahweh our God,
I will seek your good.
