1 A Song of the Ascents, by David. I have rejoiced in those  saying to me, `To the house of Jehovah we go.`
         
                                
                        2 Our feet have been standing in thy gates, O Jerusalem!
         
                                
                        3 Jerusalem -- the builded one -- [Is] as a city that is  joined to itself together.
         
                                
                        4 For thither have tribes gone up, Tribes of Jah, companies  of Israel, To give thanks to the name of Jehovah.
         
                                
                        5 For there have sat thrones of judgment, Thrones of the  house of David.
         
                                
                        6 Ask ye the peace of Jerusalem, At rest are those loving  thee.
         
                                
                        7 Peace is in thy bulwark, rest in thy high places,
