A Song of #[See Ps. 120, title]Ascents. Of David.
1I was glad when they said to me,
#
Isa. 2:3; Mic. 4:2; Zech. 8:21 “Let us go to the house of the Lord!”
2Our feet have been standing
within your gates, O Jerusalem!
3Jerusalem—#Ps. 147:2 built as a city
that is #Neh. 4:6bound firmly together,
4to which the tribes #Deut. 16:16 go up,
the tribes of the Lord,
as was #Ps. 78:5decreed for#122:4 Or as a testimony for Israel,
to give thanks to the name of the Lord.
5There #Deut. 17:8; 2 Sam. 15:2; 1 Kgs. 3:16; 7:7; 2 Chr. 19:8thrones for judgment were set,
the thrones of the house of David.

“May they be secure who love you!
7Peace be within your #Ps. 48:13walls
and security within your #Ps. 48:13towers!”
8For my brothers and companions’ sake
I will say, #[1 Sam. 25:6; Ps. 85:8]“Peace be within you!”
9For the sake of the house of the Lord our God,
I will #Neh. 2:10; Esth. 10:3seek your good.

1I was glad when they said to me, “Let us go into the House of יהוה.”
2Our feet have been standing Within your gates, O Yerushalayim!
3Yerushalayim is built As a city that is bound together,
4Where the tribes have come up, The tribes of Yah, A witness to Yisra’ĕl, To give thanks to the Name of יהוה.
5For there the thrones of right-ruling were set, The thrones of the house of Dawiḏ.
6Pray for the peace of Yerushalayim, Let those who love You be at rest.
7Peace be within your walls, Rest in your citadels.
8For the sake of my brothers and companions, I say, “Peace be within you.”
9For the sake of the House of יהוה our Elohim I seek your good.
