1 (A Song of Ascents, of David.) I was glad when they said to me, "Let us go to the house of the Lord."

2 Our feet are standing Within your gates, O Jerusalem,

3 Jerusalem, that is built As a city that is compact together;

4 To which the tribes go up, even the tribes of the Lord – An 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.
