Pilgrim Feast Songs. By David [Beloved]. 3:15
Context: Psalm of Ascent 3:15. Historically, sung by travelers ascending up to Jerusalem [City of peace] during the three pilgrim feasts of (Ex 23:15-17): Passover, Shavout / Pentacost, and Tabernacles. About Jerusalem [City of peace], which literally means [City of peace]. (No reference)
1 I was glad when they said to me,
“Let’s go to Adonai’s house!”
2 Our feet are standing within your gates, Jerusalem [City of peace];
3 Jerusalem [City of peace], that is built as a city that is compact together;
4 where the tribes go up, even Yah’s tribes,
according to a testimony for Israel [God prevails],
yadah ·extend hands in thankful praise· to Adonai’s name.
5 For there are set thrones for judgment,
the thrones of David [Beloved]’s house.
6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem [City of peace].
Those who 'ahav ·affectionately love· you will prosper.
7 Peace be within your walls,
and prosperity within your palaces.
8 For my brothers’ and companions’ sakes,
I will now say, “Peace be within you.”
9 For the sake of the house of Yahweh Eloheikhem [Yahweh our God],
I will seek your good.
