1 A Song of the Ascents. Of David. <span class=|reftext|><a href=|#|><b>1</b></a> I was glad at the saying to me, “Let us go [to] the house of YHWH.”2 Our feet have been standing within your gates, O Jerusalem!3 Jerusalem is built up as a city joined to itself together;4 there the tribes go up, the tribes of YAH, as a testimony for Israel, to give thanks to the name of YHWH.5 For there sit the thrones of judgment, the thrones of the house of David.6 Ask for the peace of Jerusalem: “May they prosper, those loving you!7 May there be peace within your wall, prosperity within your citadels!”8 For the sake of my brothers and my companions let me now say: “Peace [be] within you!”9 For the sake of the house of YHWH our God I will seek good for you.
