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 in your gates, O Jerusalem. |
|
3
|
Jerusalem is built up as a city united together, |
|
4
|
where the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, as a testimony for Israel, to give thanks to the name of the LORD. |
|
5
|
For there the thrones of judgment stand, the thrones of the house of David. |
|
6
|
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: “May those who love you prosper. |
|
7
|
May there be peace within your walls, and prosperity inside your fortresses.” |
|
8
|
For the sake of my brothers and friends, I will say, “Peace be within you.” |
|
9
|
For the sake of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek your prosperity. |
