A Song of Ascents; of David.
I was glad when they said unto me,
Let us go unto the house of Jehovah.
Our feet {Or, have stood}are standing
Within thy gates, O Jerusalem,
Jerusalem, that art builded
As a city that is compact together;
Whither the tribes go up, even the tribes of {Hebrew: Jah.}Jehovah,
For {Hebrew: a testimony.}an ordinance for Israel,
To give thanks unto the name of Jehovah.
For there {Or, were}are set thrones for judgment,
The thrones of the house of David.
{Or, Salute ye Jerusalem}Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:
{Or, May they}They shall prosper that love thee.
Peace be within thy walls,
And prosperity within thy palaces.
For my brethren and companions' sakes,
I will now {Or, speak peace concerning thee}say, Peace be within thee.
For the sake of the house of Jehovah our God
I will seek thy good.
