A song ·for going up to worship [of ascents; C perhaps sung while traveling to Jerusalem to celebrate an annual religious festival like Passover]. Of David.

122 I ·was happy [rejoiced] when they said to me,
    “Let’s ·go [walk] to the ·Temple [L house] of the Lord.”
Jerusalem, ·we [L our feet] are standing
    at your gates.

Jerusalem is built as a city
    ·with the buildings close together [L that is closely tied together].
The tribes [C the twelve tribes of Israel] go up there,
    the tribes who belong to the Lord.
It is the ·rule [decree; testimony] in Israel
    to ·praise [L thank the name of] the Lord at Jerusalem.
