¹ > I was glad when they said to me, "Let's go to Yahweh's house!"

² Many nations will go and say, "Come, and let us go up to the mountain of Yahweh, And to the house of the God of Jacob; And he will teach us of his ways, And we will walk in his paths." For out of Zion will go forth the law, And the word of Yahweh from Jerusalem;

³ Many peoples shall go and say, "Come, let's go up to the mountain of Yahweh, To the house of the God of Jacob; And he will teach us of his ways, And we will walk in his paths. For out of Zion the law shall go forth, And the word of Yahweh from Jerusalem.

⁴ These things I remember, and pour out my soul within me, How I used to go with the crowd, and led them to the house of God, With the voice of joy and praise, a multitude keeping a holy day.

¹ > In my distress, I cried to Yahweh. He answered me.

¹ > I will lift up my eyes to the hills. Where does my help come from?

¹ > Unless Yahweh builds the house, They labor in vain who build it. Unless Yahweh watches over the city, The watchman guards it in vain.

¹ > Blessed is everyone who fears Yahweh, Who walks in his ways.

²¹ and the inhabitants of one shall go to another, saying, 'Let us go speedily to entreat the favor of Yahweh, and to seek Yahweh of Hosts. I will go also.'

²² Yes, many peoples and strong nations will come to seek Yahweh of Hosts in Jerusalem, and to entreat the favor of Yahweh."

²³ Thus says Yahweh of Hosts: "In those days, ten men will take hold, out of all the languages of the nations, they will take hold of the skirt of him who is a Jew, saying, 'We will go with you, for we have heard that God is with you.'"

⁴ In those days, and in that time, says Yahweh, the children of Israel shall come, they and the children of Judah together; they shall go on their way weeping, and shall seek Yahweh their God.

⁵ They shall inquire concerning Zion with their faces turned toward it, [saying], Come you, and join yourselves to Yahweh in an everlasting covenant that shall not be forgotten.

⁶ For there shall be a day, that the watchmen on the hills of Ephraim shall cry, Arise you, and let us go up to Zion to Yahweh our God.

¹ > Look! Praise Yahweh, all you servants of Yahweh, Who stand by night in Yahweh's house!

¹ > See how good and how pleasant it is For brothers to live together in unity!

¹ > Yahweh, remember David and all his affliction,

¹ > Yahweh, my heart isn't haughty, nor my eyes lofty; Nor do I concern myself with great matters, Or things too wonderful for me.

¹ > God, you are my God. I will earnestly seek you. My soul thirsts for you, My flesh longs for you, In a dry and weary land, where there is no water.

² So I have seen you in the sanctuary, Watching your power and your glory.

³ Because your loving kindness is better than life, My lips shall praise you.

¹ > How lovely are your dwellings, Yahweh of Hosts!

² My soul longs, and even faints for the courts of Yahweh. My heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.

¹⁰ For a day in your courts is better than a thousand. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, Than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.

¹¹¹ I have taken your testimonies as a heritage forever, For they are the joy of my heart.

¹ > To you I do lift up my eyes, You who sit in the heavens.

¹ > If it had not been Yahweh who was on our side, Let Israel now say,

¹ > Those who trust in Yahweh are as Mount Zion, Which can't be moved, but remains forever.

¹ > When Yahweh brought back those who returned to Zion, We were like those who dream.

¹ > Many times they have afflicted me from my youth up. Let Israel now say,

¹ > Out of the depths I have cried to you, Yahweh.

¹⁴ We took sweet fellowship together. We walked in God's house with company.
