A song of ascents. Of David.

¹ I rejoiced with those who said to me,
“Let us go to the house of the Lord.”^(C1)² Our feet were standing
within your gates, Jerusalem^(C1)—

³ Jerusalem, built as a city should be,
solidly united,^(C1)⁴ where the tribes, the Lord’s tribes, go up
to give thanks to the name of the Lord.^(C1)
(This is an ordinance for Israel.^(C2))⁵ There, thrones for judgment are placed,
thrones of the house of David.^(C1)

⁶ Pray for the well-being^(F1) of Jerusalem:
“May those who love you be secure;^(C1)⁷ may there be peace within your walls,
security within your fortresses.”^(C1)⁸ Because of my brothers and friends,
I will say, “May peace be in you.”^(F1)^(C1)⁹ Because of the house of the Lord our God,
I will pursue your prosperity.^(C1)
