1A Song of Ascents. Of David. I was glad when they said to me, “Let us go to the house of the Lord!” (诗120:1; 赛2:3; 弥4:2; 亚8:21)2Our feet have been standing within your gates, O Jerusalem!3Jerusalem—built as a city that is bound firmly together, (尼4:6; 诗147:2)4to which the tribes go up, the tribes of the Lord, as was decreed for[1] Israel, to give thanks to the name of the Lord. (申16:16; 诗78:5)5There thrones for judgment were set, the thrones of the house of David. (申17:8; 撒下15:2; 王上3:16; 王上7:7; 代下19:8)6Pray for the peace of Jerusalem! “May they be secure who love you! (诗51:18; 耶29:7)7Peace be within your walls and security within your towers!” (诗48:13)8For my brothers and companions’ sake I will say, “Peace be within you!” (撒上25:6; 诗85:8)9For the sake of the house of the Lord our God, I will seek your good. (尼2:10; 斯10:3)
