Pray for the peace of Jerusalem
1
A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. BY DAVID. I have rejoiced in those saying to me, “We go to the house of YHWH.”
2
Our feet have been standing in your gates, O Jerusalem!
3
Jerusalem—the built one—[Is] as a city that is joined to itself together.
4
For there tribes have gone up, || Tribes of YAH, companies of Israel, || To give thanks to the Name of YHWH.
5
For there thrones of judgment have sat, || Thrones of the house of David.
6
Ask [for] the peace of Jerusalem, || Those loving you are at rest.
7
Peace is in your bulwark, rest in your high places,
8
For the sake of my brothers and my companions, || Please let me speak, “Peace [be] in you.”
9
For the sake of the house of our God YHWH, || I seek good for you!
