1A Song of Ascents. Of Beloved. I was glad when they said to me, “Let us go to the house of He-Who-Is.”

2Our feet are standing in your gates, O Foundation-of-Peace.

3Foundation-of-Peace is built up as a city united together,

4where the tribes go up, the tribes of the He-Who-Is, as a testimony for Strives-with-God, to give thanks to the name of He-Who-Is.

5For there the thrones of judgment stand, the thrones of the house of Beloved.

6Pray for the peace of Foundation-of-Peace: “May those who love you prosper.

7May there be peace within your walls, and prosperity inside your fortresses.”

8For the sake of my brothers and friends, I will say, “Peace be within you.”

9For the sake of the house of He-Who-Is our God, I will seek your prosperity.
