²¹ Yea, gone have inhabitants of one To another, saying: We go diligently, To appease the face of Jehovah, To seek Jehovah of Hosts -- I go, even I.

² And Beth-El sendeth Sherezer and Regem-Melech, and its men, to appease the face of Jehovah,

²² Bless Jehovah, all ye His works, In all places of His dominion. Bless, O my soul, Jehovah!

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,

⁸ For the sake of my brethren and my companions, Let me speak, I pray thee, `Peace `be' in thee.'

⁹ For the sake of the house of Jehovah our God, I seek good for thee!

¹ Praise ye Jah! Praise, O my soul, Jehovah.

² I praise Jehovah during my life, I sing praise to my God while I exist.

³ And we know -- we pursue to know Jehovah, As the dawn prepared is His going forth, And He cometh in as a shower to us, As gathered rain -- sprinkling earth.'
