[1] I was glad when they said to me, Let us go into the house of the LORD.
[2] Our feet shall stand within your gates, O Jerusalem.
[3] Jerusalem is built as a city that is compact together:
[4] Where the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, to the testimony of Israel, to give thanks to the name of the LORD.
[5] For there are set thrones of judgment, the thrones of the house of David.
[6] Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love you.
[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] Because of the house of the LORD our God I will seek your good.
