English Translation

A song of ascents. Of David.
I rejoiced when they said to me,
“We are going to the House of GOD.” Our feet stood inside your gates, O Jerusalem, Jerusalem built up, a city knit together, to which tribes would make pilgrimage,
the tribes of Yah,aYah See note at 68.5.
as was enjoined upon Israel—
to praise GOD’s name. There the thrones of judgment stood,
thrones of the house of David. Pray for the well-being of Jerusalem;
“May those who love you be at peace. May there be well-being within your ramparts,
peace in your citadels.” For the sake of my kin and friends,
I pray for your well-being; for the sake of the house of the ETERNAL our God,
I seek your good.
