1 I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORD.

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

3 Jerusalem is builded as a city that is compact together:

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

5 For there are set thrones of 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 walls, and prosperity within thy palaces.

8 For my brethren and companions’ sakes, I will now say, Peace be within thee.

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