1 [[A Song of Ascents. David's.]] I was glad, when they were saying unto me, Unto the house of Yahweh, let us go! 2 Standing are our feet, within thy gates, O Jerusalem! 3 Jerusalem! that hath been builded, A true city, all joined together as one: 4 Whither have come up the tribes, The tribes of Yah, A testimony to Israel, To give thanks unto the Name of Yahweh: 5 For there are set–Thrones for justice, Thrones for the house David.

6 Ask ye for the peace of Jerusalem, They shall prosper, who love thee! 7 Peace be within thy walls, prosperity within thy palaces: 8 For the sake of my brethren and friends, Oh, might I speak [saying], Peace be within thee! 9 For the sake of the house of Yahweh our God, will I seek blessing for thee.
