• 1 I was glad when they said to me, Let us go into the house of the LORD.

  • 2 Our feet shall stand 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 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 you.

  • 7 Peace be within your walls, and prosperity within your palaces.

  • 8 For my brothers and companions' sakes, I will now say, Peace be within you.

  • 9 Because of the house of the LORD our God I will seek your good.
