 To which the tribes go up, the tribes of the, * the assembly of Israel, to praise the Name of the.

For there are the thrones of judgment, * the thrones of the house of David.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: * “May they prosper who love you.

Peace be within your walls * and quietness within your towers.

For my brethren and companions’ sake, * I pray for your prosperity.

Because of the house of the our God, * I will seek to do you good.”

To you I lift up my eyes, * to you enthroned in the heavens.

As the eyes of servants look to the hand of their masters, * and the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress,

So our eyes look to the our God, * until he show us his mercy.

Have mercy upon us, O, have mercy, * for we have had more than enough of contempt,

Too much of the scorn of the indolent rich, * and of the derision of the proud.
