1 A Song of the steps. I was rejoiced when they said to me; "Let us go to the house of the Lord."
2 Our feet have been standing in thy courts, Jerusalem.
3 Jerusalem is built like a city; with regard to which, the participation of it is for this very purpose:
4 for thither the tribes have come up; the tribes of the Lord, a testimony to Israel; that they may give thanks to the name of the Lord:
5 because there the thrones for judgment are set: thrones for the house of David.
6 Pray, I beseech you, for the peace of Jerusalem; and for prosperity to them who love thee.
7 let there be peace in thine army and prosperity in thy palaces!
8 For the sake of my brethren and neighbours, I have expressed a wish of peace for thee;
9 For the sake of the house of the Lord our God, I have earnestly sought thy good.
