| 1 | A song of ascents. Of David. I rejoiced with those who said to me, "Let us go to the house of the LORD." | |
| 2 | Our feet are standing in your gates, O Jerusalem. | |
| 3 | Jerusalem is built like a city that is closely compacted together. | |
| 4 | That is where the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, to praise the name of the LORD according to the statute given to Israel. | |
| 5 | There the thrones for judgment stand, the thrones of the house of David. | |
| 6 | Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: "May those who love you be secure. | |
| 7 | May there be peace within your walls and security within your citadels." | |
| 8 | For the sake of my brothers and friends, I will say, "Peace be within you." | |
| 9 | For the sake of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek your prosperity. | |
