1 A song of ascents. Of David.I rejoiced when they said to me,“Let us go to the house of the Lord.”
2 And now our feet are standingwithin your gates, Jerusalem.
3 Jerusalem, built as a city,walled round about.
4 There the tribes go up,the tribes of the Lord,As it was decreed for Israel,to give thanks to the name of the Lord.
5 There are the thrones of justice,the thrones of the house of David.
6 For the peace of Jerusalem pray:“May those who love you prosper!
7 May peace be within your ramparts,prosperity within your towers.”
