The multitude of Thy saints come before Thee; they loudly sing Thy praises in Thy holy sanctuaries; the remnant of them that seek Thee say to one another: ‘_The Lord shall keep thee from all evil; He shall keep thy soul._’ All Thy beloved ones together raise their voice, and say: ‘With perfect heart sing ye unto the Living God; He who understands all secrets will hear your cry; _The Lord shall guard thy going out and thy coming in, from this time forth and for ever_.’ 3. Hymn Based on Psalm 122 When I draw nigh to extol Thee amidst a poor and needy people, strengthen Thou my remnant scattered in all regions. With this my Song of Ascents I cry to Thee, O King: _I rejoiced when they said unto me: ‘Let us go unto the house of the Lord_.’ For my perversity I have been given twofold punishment; announce Thou consolations to the barefoot people.[80] The people, whose feet Thou makest strong, shall proclaim Thy greatness;—_our feet are standing within thy gates, O Jerusalem_! Establish Thou the pillars of Thy desolate temple; the measurements thereof make wondrous fair, and wide, and long. This miracle shall strike with confusion him who destroyed the desirable things thereof: _Jerusalem that was built as a city that is compact together_. The righteous song regard with favor; may it be Thy will to gladden with the redeemer’s coming them that trust in Thee. Thy banished children shall go up to erect Ariel, _whither the tribes went up, even the tribes of the Lord, as a testimony unto Israel_. Destroy them that strive with me, and increase their tribulations; enslave the tyrant;—_for there were set thrones for judgment, the thrones of the house of David_. Bring good tidings to them that sanctify Thee and sing Thy words—they that are led by a fiery wall near Thee; I shall rejoice near Thy shield, and hear Thy pleasing words: ‘_Pray for the peace of Jerusalem; may they prosper that love thee._’ O city of the Lord, rejoice, and increase thy lays; burst forth with song, exult, make thy melodies great; I shall fill thy utterances with joy and exultation; _peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces_. They that wait for Thy utterance shall lift up their voice together; they that sanctify Thy unity shall sing new melodies; they that are satisfied with bliss from Thee shall proclaim peace; _for my brethren and companions’ sakes I will now say_: ‘_Peace be within thee._’ Increase the glory of the stronghold in Thy border; mayest Thou hear from Thy habitation the praises which we utter; may the wisdom of Thy anointed be spoken in Thy temple: _for the sake of the house of the Lord our God I will seek thy good_. 4.
