4 That is where the tribes go up—the Lord’s tribes!It is the law for Israelto give thanks there to the Lord’s name,
5 because the thrones of justice are there—the thrones of the house of David!
6 Pray that Jerusalem has peace:"Let those who love you have rest.
7 Let there be peace on your walls;let there be rest on your fortifications."
8 For the sake of my family and friends,I say, "Peace be with you, Jerusalem."
9 For the sake of the Lord our God’s houseI will pray for your good.
