¹A song of David of the sundial degree markings.

I rejoiced when they said to me,

“Let us go to the house of the Lord.”

²Our feet are standing

At your gates, O Jerusalem

³– Jerusalem which is built

Like a city which is wholly joined up,

⁴To where the tribes go up

– The tribes of the Lord –

As a testimony to Israel,

To give thanks to the name of the Lord.

⁵For thrones of judgment are located there

– Thrones of the house of David.

⁶Ask for the peace of Jerusalem;

May those who love you be free of cares.

⁷May there be peace in your building stock

And well-being in your palaces.

⁸For the sake of my brothers and friends,

Do let me say,

“Peace within you.”

⁹For the sake of the house of the Lord our God,

I will seek your welfare.
