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