¹ I was glad when they said to me,
    “Let us go to the house of the Lord.”
² And now here we are,
    standing inside your gates, O Jerusalem.
³ Jerusalem is a well-built city;
    its seamless walls cannot be breached.

¹ Those who trust in the Lord are as secure as Mount Zion;
    they will not be defeated but will endure forever.

² Just as the mountains surround Jerusalem,
    so the Lord surrounds his people, both now and forever.
