1 Let Us Go to the House of the Lord A Song of Ascents . Of David . I was glad when they said to me, Let us go to the house of the Lord !

2 Our feet have been standing within your gates , O Jerusalem !

3 Jerusalem — built as a city that is bound firmly together ,

4 to which the tribes go up , the tribes of the Lord , as was decreed for Israel , to give thanks to the name of the Lord .

5 There thrones for judgment were set , the thrones of the house of David .

6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem ! May they be secure who love you!

7 Peace be within your walls and security within your towers !

8 For my brothers and companions ’ sake I will say , Peace be within you!

9 For the sake of the house of the Lord our God , I will seek your good .

1 I rejoiced with those who said to me, “Let us go to the house of the Lord.”

2 Our feet are standing in your gates, Jerusalem.

3 Jerusalem is built like a city that is closely compacted together.

4 That is where the tribes go up— the tribes of the Lord— to praise the name of the Lord according to the statute given to Israel.

5 There stand the thrones for judgment, the thrones of the house of David.

6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: “May those who love you be secure.

7 May there be peace within your walls and security within your citadels.”

8 For the sake of my family and friends, I will say, “Peace be within you.”

9 For the sake of the house of the Lord our God, I will seek your prosperity.
