• 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!
