\d A psalm written by David for people going up to the temple to worship.
|
|
\b
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 1 I was glad when people said to me,
|
|
\q2 "We should go to the temple of Yahweh in Jerusalem!"
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 2 Now we are here,
|
|
\q2 standing inside the gates of Jerusalem.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 3 We can see that Jerusalem was a carefully built city.
|
|
\q2 Every part of the city was built to fit together
|
|
\q2 within the city as a whole.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 4 We people of the tribes of Israel
|
|
\q2 who belong to Yahweh can now go up there,
|
|
\q2 as Yahweh commanded that we should do,
|
|
\q2 so we can thank him.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 5 There are the thrones,
|
|
\q2 the thrones that the kings of Israel sat
|
|
\q2 when they ruled Israel.
|
|
\q2 These are the thrones of the descendants of King David.
|
|
\b

|
\s5

\v 6 Pray that there will be peace in Jerusalem!
|
|
\q1 "I pray that those who love Jerusalem will succeed in life.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 7 I pray that there may be peace inside the walls of the city
|
|
\q2 and that people who are inside the palaces may be safe."
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 8 For the sake of my relatives and friends,
|
|
\q2 "I pray that people will live peacefully inside Jerusalem."
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 9 And because I love the temple of Yahweh our God,
|
|
\q2 "I pray that things will go well for the people who live in Jerusalem."
