1A Song of Ascents; of David. I was glad when they said to me, Let us go to the house of Yahweh. 2Our feet are standing Inside your gates, O Jerusalem, 3Jerusalem is built As a city that is compact together; 4Where the tribes go up, even the tribes of Yah, [For] an ordinance for Israel, To give thanks to the name of Yahweh. 5For there are set thrones for judgment, The thrones of the house of David. 6Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: They who love you will prosper. 7Peace be inside your walls, And prosperity inside your palaces. 8For my brothers and companions' sakes, I will now say, Peace be inside you. 9For the sake of the house of Yahweh our God I will seek your good.
