1  I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go unto the house of the LORD.

2  Our feet are standing within thy gates, O Jerusalem;

3  Jerusalem, that art builded as a city that is compact together:

4  Whither the tribes go up, even the tribes of the LORD for a testimony unto Israel, to give thanks into the name of the LORD.

5  For there are set thrones for judgment, the thrones of the house of David.

6  Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.

7  Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces.

8  For my brethren and companions’ sakes, I will now say, Peace be within thee.

9  For the sake of the house of the LORD our God I will seek thy good.
