1 I was glad when they said to me,“Let us go into the house of the Lord.”
2 Our feet have been standingWithin your gates, O Jerusalem!
3 Jerusalem is builtAs 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 thrones are set there for 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 walls,Prosperity within your palaces.”
8 For the sake of my brethren and companions,I will now say, “Peace be within you.”
9 Because of the house of the Lord our GodI will seek your good.
