Jerusalem

Jehovah doth bless thee out of Zion, Look, then, on the good of Jerusalem, All the days of thy life,

Blessed is Jehovah from Zion, Inhabiting Jerusalem--praise ye Jah!

If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, my right hand forgetteth!

My tongue doth cleave to my palate, If I do not remember thee, If I do not exalt Jerusalem above my chief joy.

Remember, Jehovah, for the sons of Edom, The day of Jerusalem, Those saying, `Rase, rase to its foundation!'

Building Jerusalem is Jehovah, The driven away of Israel He gathereth.

Glorify, O Jerusalem, Jehovah, Praise thy God, O Zion.

Words of a preacher, son of David, king in Jerusalem:

I, a preacher, have been king over Israel in Jerusalem.

I--I spake with my heart, saying, `I, lo, I have magnified and added wisdom above every one who hath been before me at Jerusalem, and my heart hath seen abundantly wisdom and knowledge.

I got men-servants, and maid-servants, and sons of the house were to me; also, I had much substance--herd and flock--above all who had been before me in Jerusalem.

And I became great, and increased above every one who had been before me in Jerusalem; also, my wisdom stood with me.

Dark am I, and comely, daughters of Jerusalem, As tents of Kedar, as curtains of Solomon.

I have adjured you, daughters of Jerusalem, By the roes or by the hinds of the field, Stir not up nor wake the love till she please!

I have adjured you, daughters of Jerusalem, By the roes or by the hinds of the field, Stir not up nor wake the love till she please!

Its pillars he made of silver, Its bottom of gold, its seat of purple, Its midst lined with love, By the daughters of Jerusalem.

I have adjured you, daughters of Jerusalem, If ye find my beloved--What do ye tell him? that I am sick with love!

His mouth is sweetness--and all of him desirable, This is my beloved, and this my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem!

Fair art thou, my friend, as Tirzah, Comely as Jerusalem, Awe-inspiring as bannered hosts.

I have adjured you, daughters of Jerusalem, How ye stir up, And how ye wake the love till she please!

The Visions of Isaiah son of Amoz, that he hath seen concerning Judah and Jerusalem, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, Hezekiah, kings of Judah.

The thing that Isaiah son of Amoz hath seen concerning Judah and Jerusalem:

And gone have many peoples and said, `Come, and we go up unto the mount of Jehovah, Unto the house of the God of Jacob, And He doth teach us of His ways, And we walk in His paths, For from Zion goeth forth a law, And a word of Jehovah from Jerusalem.

For, lo, the Lord, Jehovah of Hosts, Is turning aside from Jerusalem, And from Judah, stay and staff, Every stay of bread, and every stay of water.

For stumbled hath Jerusalem, and Judah hath fallen, For their tongue and their doings are against Jehovah, To provoke the eyes of His glory.
