1 I was glad when they said to me,“Let us go into the house of the Lord.”
2 Our feet shall standwithin your gates, O Jerusalem.
3 Jerusalem is built as a citythat is designed for a multitude,
4 where the tribes go up,the tribes of the Lord,as a decree of Israel,to give thanks unto the name of the Lord.
5 There are set thrones of judgment,the thrones of the house of David.
6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:“May they prosper who love you!
7 Peace be within your wallsand security within your towers!”
8 For my brothers and companions’ sake,I will now say, “Peace be within you.”
9 Because of the house of the Lord our God,I will seek your good.
