A Song of degrees of David.
1
I was glad when they said unto me,Let us go into the house of the LORD.
2
Our feet shall standWithin thy gates, O Jerusalem.
3
Jerusalem is buildedAs a city that is compact together:
4
Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD,Unto the testimony of Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the LORD.
5
For there are set thrones of 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
Because of the house of the LORD our GodI will seek thy good.
