1 | I was glad when they said to me, "Let us go to the house of the LORD!" |
2 | Our feet have been standing within your gates, O Jerusalem! |
3 | Jerusalem, built as a city which is bound firmly together, |
4 | to which the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, as was decreed for Israel, to give thanks to the name of the LORD. |
5 | There thrones for judgment were set, 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, and security within your towers!" |
8 | For my brethren and companions' sake I will say, "Peace be within you!" |
9 | For the sake of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek your good. |
