1Prayer for the peace of Jerusalem.
A Song of Ascents; of David.
I was glad when they said unto me,Let us go unto the house of Jehovah.2Our feet 1are standingWithin thy gates, O Jerusalem,3Jerusalem, that art buildedAs a city that is compact together;4Whither the tribes go up, even the tribes of 2Jehovah,For 3an ordinance for Israel,To give thanks unto the name of Jehovah.5For there 4are set thrones for judgment,The thrones of the house of David.65Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:6They shall prosper that love thee.7Peace be within thy walls,And prosperity within thy palaces.8For my brethren and companions’ sakes,I will now 7say, Peace be within thee.9For the sake of the house of Jehovah our GodI will seek thy good.
