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! |
