1 A pilgrim song of David

When they said, "Let's go to the house of God,"

my heart leaped for joy.

2 And now we're here, O Jerusalem,

inside Jerusalem's walls!

3 Jerusalem, well-built city,

built as a place for worship!

4 The city to which the tribes ascend,

all God's tribes go up to worship,

To give thanks to the name of God—

this is what it means to be Israel.

5 Thrones for righteous judgment

are set there, famous David-thrones.

6 Pray for Jerusalem's peace!

Prosperity to all you Jerusalem-lovers!

7 Friendly insiders, get along!

Hostile outsiders, keep your distance!

8 For the sake of my family and friends,

I say it again: live in peace!

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

I'll do my very best for you.
