1 I was glad when they said to me, "Let's go to the LORD's house."
2 Our feet are standing within your gates, Jerusalem;
3 Jerusalem, that is built as a city that is compact together;
4 where the tribes go up, even the tribes of the LORD, according to an ordinance for Israel, to give thanks to the name of the LORD.
5 For there are set thrones for judgment, the thrones of David's house.
6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Those who love you will prosper.
7 Peace be within your walls, and prosperity within your palaces.
8 For my brothers' and companions' sakes, I will now say, "Peace be within you."
9 For the sake of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek your good.
