1 I was glad when they said to me,“Let’s go to the house of the Lord.”
2 Our feet are standing inside your gates, Jerusalem.
3 Jerusalem is built to be a citywhere the people are united.
4 All of the Lord’s tribes go to that citybecause it is a law in Israelto give thanks to the name of the Lord.
5 The court of justice sits there.It consists of ⌊princes who are⌋ David’s descendants.
6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:“May those who love you prosper.
7 May there be peace inside your wallsand prosperity in your palaces.”
8 For the sake of my relatives and friends, let me say,“May it go well for you!”
9 For the sake of the house of the Lord our God,I will seek what is good for you.
