| 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!
