1 [A Song of degrees. Of David.] I rejoiced when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of Jehovah.

2 Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem.

3 Jerusalem, which art built as a city that is compact together,

4 Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of Jah, a testimony to Israel, to give thanks unto the name of Jehovah.

5 For there are set thrones for judgment, the thrones of the house of David.

6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.

7 Peace be within thy bulwarks, prosperity within thy palaces.

8 For my brethren and companions' sakes I will say, Peace be within thee!

9 Because of the house of Jehovah our God I will seek thy good.

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.
