-
A Song of the Ascents, by David. I have rejoiced in those saying to me, `To the house of Jehovah we go.'
-
Our feet have been standing in thy gates, O Jerusalem!
-
Jerusalem--the builded one-- Is as a city that is joined to itself together.
-
For thither have tribes gone up, Tribes of Jah, companies of Israel, To give thanks to the name of Jehovah.
-
For there have sat thrones of judgment, Thrones of the house of David.
-
Ask ye the peace of Jerusalem, At rest are those loving thee.
-
Peace is in thy bulwark, rest in thy high places,
-
For the sake of my brethren and my companions, Let me speak, I pray thee, `Peace be in thee.'
-
For the sake of the house of Jehovah our God, I seek good for thee!
