1. A song of ascents. Of David. I rejoiced when they said to me, "Let us go to the house of the LORD."

2. And now our feet are standing within your gates, Jerusalem.

3. Jerusalem, built as a city, walled round about.

4. Here the tribes have come, the tribes of the LORD, As it was decreed for Israel, to give thanks to the name of the LORD.

5. Here are the thrones of justice, the thrones of the house of David.

6. For the peace of Jerusalem pray: "May those who love you prosper!

7. May peace be within your ramparts, prosperity within your towers."

8. For family and friends I say, "May peace be yours."

9. For the house of the LORD, our God, I pray, "May blessings be yours."





“Dirás tu o mais belo dos credos quando houver noite em redor de ti, na hora do sacrifício, na dor, no supremo esforço duma vontade inquebrantável para o bem. Este credo é como um relâmpago que rasga a escuridão de teu espírito e no seu brilho te eleva a Deus”. São Padre Pio de Pietrelcina
