A Song of the Ascents. Of David.
122 I rejoiced when they said to me:
“Let us go to the house of Ahv'ah {Heb. Yahvah}.”
2 And now our feet are standing
Within your gates, O Yerushalom.
3 Yerushalom is built as a city
That is joined together as one.
4 The tribes have gone up to it,
According to the reminder to Isra'Al,
To give thanks to the name of Ahv'ah {Heb. Yahvah}.
5 For thrones for judgment were set up there,
Thrones of the house of David.
6 Ask for the peace of Yerushalom.
Those who love you, O city, will be secure.
7 May peace continue within your ramparts,
Security within your fortified towers.
8 For the sake of my brothers and my companions I will say:
“May there be peace within you.”
9 For the sake of the house of Ahv'ah {Heb. Yahvah} our Yahavah {Yah'-ha-vah'},
I will seek good for you.
