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!
