1 A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. BY DAVID. I have rejoiced in those saying to me, “We go to the house of YHWH.” I was glad when they said to me, “Let us go to the house of the LORD!” 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 have been standing in your gates, O Jerusalem! Our feet have been standing within your gates, O Jerusalem! Our feet are standing in your gates, Jerusalem.
3 Jerusalem—the built one—[Is] as a city that is joined to itself together. Jerusalem—built as a city that is bound firmly together, Jerusalem is built like a city that is closely compacted together.
4 For there tribes have gone up, || Tribes of YAH, companies of Israel, || To give thanks to the Name of YHWH. to which the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, as was decreed for Israel, to give thanks to the name of the LORD. 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 For there thrones of judgment have sat, || Thrones of the house of David. There thrones for judgment were set, the thrones of the house of David. There stand the thrones for judgment, the thrones of the house of David.
6 Ask [for] the peace of Jerusalem, || Those loving you are at rest. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem! “May they be secure who love you! Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: “May those who love you be secure.
7 Peace is in your bulwark, rest in your high places, Peace be within your walls and security within your towers!” May there be peace within your walls and security within your citadels.”
8 For the sake of my brothers and my companions, || Please let me speak, “Peace [be] in you.” For my brothers and companions’ sake I will say, “Peace be within you!” For the sake of my family and friends, I will say, “Peace be within you.”
9 For the sake of the house of our God YHWH, || I seek good for you! For the sake of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek your good. For the sake of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek your prosperity.
