3 Jerusalem is built as a citywith the buildings close together.
4 The tribes go up there,the tribes who belong to the Lord.It is the rule in Israelto praise the Lord at Jerusalem.
5 There the descendants of Davidset their thrones to judge the people.
6 Pray for peace in Jerusalem:“May those who love her be safe.
7 May there be peace within her wallsand safety within her strong towers.”
8 To help my relatives and friends,I say, “Let Jerusalem have peace.”
9 For the sake of the Temple of the Lord our God,I wish good for her.
