Psalm - The Old Testament

¹ [Song of Ascents Of David] I rejoiced that they said to me, 'Let us go to the house of Yahweh.'

² At last our feet are standing at your gates, Jerusalem!

³ Jerusalem, built as a city, in one united whole,

⁴ there the tribes go up, the tribes of Yahweh, a sign for Israel to give thanks to the name of Yahweh.

⁵ For there are set the thrones of judgement, the thrones of the house of David.

⁶ Pray for the peace of Jerusalem, prosperity for your homes!

⁷ Peace within your walls, prosperity in your palaces!

⁸ For love of my brothers and my friends I will say, 'Peace upon you!'

⁹ For love of the house of Yahweh our God I will pray for your well-being.
