1 [Song of Ascents Of David] I rejoiced that they said to me, 'Let us go to the house of Yahweh.'	1 A song of ascents. Of David. I rejoiced when they said to me, "Let us go to the house of the LORD."
2 At last our feet are standing at your gates, Jerusalem!	2 And now our feet are standing within your gates, Jerusalem.
3 Jerusalem, built as a city, in one united whole,	3 Jerusalem, built as a city, walled round about.
4 there the tribes go up, the tribes of Yahweh, a sign for Israel to give thanks to the name of Yahweh.	4 Here the tribes have come, the tribes of the LORD, As it was decreed for Israel, to give thanks to the name of the LORD.
5 For there are set the thrones of judgement, the thrones of the house of David.	5 Here are the thrones of justice, the thrones of the house of David.
6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem, prosperity for your homes!	6 For the peace of Jerusalem pray: "May those who love you prosper!
7 Peace within your wal s, prosperity in your palaces!	7 May peace be within your ramparts, prosperity within your towers."
