Psalms

¹A Canticle in steps. I rejoiced in the things that were said to me: ”We shall go into the house of the Lord.“ ↗

²Our feet were standing in your courts, O Jerusalem. ↗

³Jerusalem has been built as a city, whose participation is unto itself. ↗

⁴For to that place, the tribes ascended, the tribes of the Lord: the testimony of Israel, to confess to the name of the Lord. ↗

⁵For in that place, seats have sat down in judgment, seats above the house of David. ↗

⁶Petition for the things that are for the peace of Jerusalem, and for abundance for those who love you. ↗

⁷Let peace be in your virtue, and abundance in your towers. ↗

⁸For the sake of my brothers and my neighbors, I spoke peace about you. ↗

⁹For the sake of the house of the Lord our God, I sought good things for you. ↗
