(1) A song of ascents. Of David. I rejoiced when they said to me,
“We are going to the House of the LORD.” (2) Our feet stood inside your gates, O Jerusalem, (3) Jerusalem built up, a city knit together, (4) to which tribes would make pilgrimage,
the tribes of the LORD,
—as was enjoined upon Israel—
to praise the name of the LORD. (5) There the thrones of judgment stood,
thrones of the house of David. (6) Pray for the well-being of Jerusalem;
“May those who love you be at peace. (7) May there be well-being within your ramparts,
peace in your citadels.” (8) For the sake of my kin and friends,
I pray for your well-being; (9) for the sake of the house of the LORD our God,
I seek your good.

O LORD of hosts. (3) I long, I yearn for the courts of the LORD;
my body and soul shout for joy to the living God. (4) Even the sparrow has found a home,
and the swallow a nest for herself
in which to set her young,
near Your altar, O LORD of hosts,
my king and my God. (5) Happy are those who dwell in Your house;
they forever praise You. Selah.
(6) Happy is the man who finds refuge in You,
whose mind is on the [pilgrim] highways. (7) They pass through the Valley of Baca,
regarding it as a place of springs,
as if the early rain had covered it with blessing.-a (8) They go from rampart to rampart,-b
appearing before God in Zion. (9) O LORD, God of hosts,
hear my prayer;
give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah. (10) O God, behold our shield,
look upon the face of Your anointed.
(11) Better one day in Your courts than a thousand [anywhere else];
I would rather stand at the threshold of God’s house
than dwell in the tents of the wicked. (12) For the LORD God is sun and shield;
the LORD bestows grace and glory;
He does not withhold His bounty from those who live without blame. (13) O LORD of hosts,
happy is the man who trusts in You.
