I was glad when they said to me, "Let us go to the house of the LORD."2
Our feet are standing Within your gates, O Jerusalem,3
Jerusalem, that is built As a city that is compact together;4
To which the tribes go up, even the tribes of the LORD-- An ordinance for Israel-- To give thanks to the name of the LORD.5
For there thrones were set for judgment, The thrones of the house of David.6
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: "May they prosper who love you.7
"May peace be within your walls, And prosperity within your palaces."8
For the sake of my brothers and my friends, I will now say, "May peace be within you."9
For the sake of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek your good.
