1 | A Song of degrees of David. I was glad when they said to me, Let us go into the house of the LORD. |
2 | Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem. |
3 | Jerusalem is built as a city that is compact together: |
4 | Whither 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 there are set thrones of judgment, the thrones of the house of David. |
6 | Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee. |
7 | Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces. |
8 | For my brethren and companions' sake, I will now say, Peace be within thee. |
9 | Because of the house of the LORD our God I will seek thy good. |
