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 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.
