שִׁיר הַמַּעֲלוֹת לְדָוִד שָׂמַחְתִּי בְּאֹמְרִים לִי בֵּית יְהוָה נֵלֵךְ׃

Shir hama'alot leDavid, samachti be'omrim li beit Adonai nelech.

A song of ascents. Of David. I rejoiced with those who said to me, 'Let us go to the house of the LORD.'

Omdot hayu ragleinu bish'arayich Yerushalayim.

Our feet are standing within your gates, O Jerusalem.

יְרוּשָׁלַיִם הַבְּנוּיָה כְּעִיר שֶׁחֻבְּרָה־לָּהּ יַחְדָּו׃

Yerushalayim habnuya ke'ir shechubra lah yachdav.

Jerusalem is built like a city that is closely compacted together.

שֶׁשָּׁם עָלוּ שְׁבָטִים שִׁבְטֵי־יָהּ עֵדוּת לְיִשְׂרָאֵל לְהֹדוֹת לְשֵׁם יְהוָה׃

Shesham alu shevatim shivtei Yah, edut leYisrael, lehodot leshem Adonai.

There the tribes go up—the tribes of the LORD—to praise the name of the LORD according to the statute given to Israel.

כִּי שָׁמָּה יָשְׁבוּ כִסְאוֹת לְמִשְׁפָּט כִּסְאוֹת לְבֵית דָּוִד׃

Ki shama yashvu chis'ot lemishpat, kis'ot leveit David.

There thrones for judgment stand, the thrones of the house of David.

Sha'alu shalom Yerushalayim, yishlayu ohavayich.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: 'May those who love you be secure.'

יְהִי־שָׁלוֹם בְּחֵילֵךְ שַׁלְוָה בְּאַרְמְנוֹתָיִךְ׃

Yehi shalom becheilech, shalva be'armenotayich.

May there be peace within your walls and security within your citadels.

לְמַעַן אַחַי וְרֵעָי אֲדַבְּרָה־נָּא שָׁלוֹם בָּךְ׃

Lema'an achai vere'ai adabera na shalom bach.

For the sake of my family and friends, I will say, 'Peace be within you.'

לְמַעַן בֵּית־יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ אֲבַקְשָׁה טוֹב לָךְ׃

Lema'an beit Adonai Eloheinu, avaksha tov lach.

For the sake of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek your prosperity.
