1 A Song of Ascents. Of David. I was glad when they said to me, "Let us go into the house of the LORD." |
2 Our feet have been standing Within your gates, O Jerusalem! |
3 Jerusalem is built As a city that is compact together, |
4 Where the tribes go up, The tribes of the LORD, To the Testimony of Israel, To give thanks to the name of the LORD. |
5 For thrones are set there for judgment, The thrones of the house of David. |
6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: "May they prosper who love you. |
7 Peace be within your walls, Prosperity within your palaces." |
8 For the sake of my brethren and companions, I will now say, "Peace be within you." |
9 Because of the house of the LORD our God I will seek your good. |
