I was glad when to me they did say,
“Let us go to the house of Yahweh.”

Here we stand, Jerusalem, house of David and the Lord
At your gates all the tribes closely bound in one accord

Giving thanks to the Lord as decreed
Through the judgment halls of David we proceed

We will pray for the peace of Jerusalem
For protection and prosperity for all of them

For the sake of friends and family we pray
“May you know true peace in your home today.”

For the sake of Your house Yahweh Elohenu
I will pray that prosperity and good accrue.

I was glad when to me they did say,
“Let us go to the house of Yahweh.”
