A song for pilgrims ascending to Jerusalem.

A psalm of David.

¹ I was glad when they said to me,

"Let us go to the house of the Lord."

² And now here we are,

standing inside your gates, O Jerusalem.

³ Jerusalem is a well-built city;

its seamless walls cannot be breached.

⁴ All the tribes of Israel-the Lord's people-

make their pilgrimage here.

They come to give thanks to the name of the Lord,

as the law requires of Israel.

⁵ Here stand the thrones where judgment is given,

the thrones of the dynasty of David.

⁶ Pray for peace in Jerusalem.

May all who love this city prosper.

⁷ O Jerusalem, may there be peace within your walls

and prosperity in your palaces.

⁸ For the sake of my family and friends, I will say,

"May you have peace."

⁹ For the sake of the house of the Lord our God,

I will seek what is best for you, O Jerusalem.
