1 A Song of the going up. Of David. I was glad because they said to me, We will go into the house of the Lord.2 At last our feet were inside your doors, O Jerusalem.3 O Jerusalem, you are like a town which is well joined together;4 To which the tribes went up, even the tribes of the Lord, for a witness to Israel, to give praise to the name of the Lord.5 For there seats for the judges were placed, even the rulers' seats of the line of David.6 O make prayers for the peace of Jerusalem; may they whose love is given to you do well.7 May peace be inside your walls, and wealth in your noble houses.8 Because of my brothers and friends, I will now say, Let peace be with you.9 Because of the house of the Lord our God, I will be working for your good.

1 'n Bedevaartslied. Van Dawid. Ek was bly toe hulle vir my gesê het: Laat ons na die huis van die HERE gaan!2 Ons voete staan in jou poorte, o Jerusalem!3 Jerusalem wat gebou is soos 'n stad wat goed saamgevoeg is,4 waarheen die stamme optrek, die stamme van die HERE -- 'n voorskrif vir Israel! -- om die Naam van die HERE te loof.5 Want daar staan die stoele vir die gereg, die stoele van die huis van Dawid.6 Bid om die vrede van Jerusalem; mag hulle wat jou liefhet, rustig lewe!7 Mag daar vrede wees in jou skanse, rus in jou paleise!8 Ter wille van my broers en my vriende wil ek spreek: Vrede in jou!9 Ter wille van die huis van die HERE onse God wil ek die goeie vir jou soek.
