1 “Let us go to the house of the LORD.” | |
2 Our feet are standing Within your gates, O Jerusalem, | |
3 I was glad when they said to me, | |
3 Jerusalem, that is built As a city that is compact together; | |
4 To which the tribes go up, even the tribes ofa Heb Yahthe LORD— b Or A testimonyAn ordinance for Israel— To give thanks to the name of the LORD. | |
5 For there thrones were set for judgment, The thrones of the house of David. | |
6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: “May they prosper who love you. | |
7 “May peace be within your walls, And prosperity within your palaces.” | |
8 For the sake of my brothers and my friends, I will now say, “May peace be within you.” | |
9 For the sake of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek your good. | |
