1 I was happy when they said to me, "Let's go to the Temple of the Lord."

2 Jerusalem, we are standing at your gates.

3 Jerusalem is built as a city with the buildings close together.

4 The tribes go up there, the tribes who belong to the Lord. to praise the Lord at Jerusalem.

5 There the descendants of David set their thrones to judge the people.

6 Pray for peace in Jerusalem: "May those who love her be safe.

7 May there be peace within her walls and safety within her strong towers."

8 To help my relatives and friends, I say, "Let Jerusalem have peace."

9 For the sake of the Temple of the Lord our God, I wish good for her. A song for going up to worship.
