⁴ to which the tribes ^(S)go up,
    the tribes of the Lord,
as was ^(T)decreed for^[a] Israel,
    to give thanks to the name of the Lord.
⁵ There ^(U)thrones for judgment were set,
    the thrones of the house of David.

^6 (V)Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!
    “May they be secure who love you!
⁷ Peace be within your ^(W)walls
    and security within your ^(X)towers!”

^13 (AD)Your name, O Lord, endures forever,
    ^(AE)your renown,^[b] O Lord, throughout all ages.
^14 (AF)For the Lord will vindicate his people
    and ^(AG)have compassion on his servants.

^15 (AH)The idols of the nations are silver and gold,
    the work of human hands.
¹⁶ They have mouths, but do not speak;
    they have eyes, but do not see;
¹⁷ they have ears, but do not hear,
    nor is there any breath in their mouths.
¹⁸ Those who make them become like them,
    so do all who trust in them.

^19 (AI)O house of Israel, bless the Lord!
    O house of Aaron, bless the Lord!
