[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!
