| 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! |
