1A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. BY DAVID. I have rejoiced in those saying to me, “We go to the house of YHWH.”

2Our feet have been standing in your gates, O Jerusalem!

3Jerusalem—the built one—[Is] as a city that is joined to itself together.

4For there tribes have gone up, || Tribes of YAH, companies of Israel, || To give thanks to the Name of YHWH.

5For there thrones of judgment have sat, || Thrones of the house of David.

6Ask [for] the peace of Jerusalem, || Those loving you are at rest.

7Peace is in your bulwark, rest in your high places,

8For the sake of my brothers and my companions, || Please let me speak, “Peace [be] in you.”

9For the sake of the house of our God YHWH, || I seek good for you!
