¹⁶ This is the lamentation with which they shall lament her: the daughters of the nations shall lament her: they shall lament for her, even for Egypt, and for all her multitude, saith the Lord GOD.

¹ I was glad when they said to me, "Let's go to Yahweh's house!"

² Our feet are standing within your gates, Jerusalem;

³ Jerusalem, that is built as a city that is compact together;

⁴ where the tribes go up, even Yah's tribes, according to an ordinance for Israel, to give thanks to the name of Yahweh.

⁵ For there are set thrones for judgment, the thrones of David's house.

⁶ Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Those who love you will prosper.

⁷ Peace be within your walls, and prosperity within your palaces.

⁸ For my brothers' and companions' sakes, I will now say, "Peace be within you."

⁹ For the sake of the house of Yahweh our God, I will seek your good. A Song of Ascents.
