1I rejoiced when I heard them say,
“Let us go to the House of the Lord.”
2 Our feet are standing within your gates,
O Jerusalem!
3 Jerusalem is built as a city
that is closely compacted together.
4 That is where the tribes go up,
the tribes of the Lord,
an ordinance of Israel,
to give thanks to the name of the Lord.
5 For there are set the thrones of judgment,
the thrones of the house of David.
6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:
“May those who love you prosper.”
7 May peace be within your walls,
and prosperity within your palaces.”
8 For the sake of my brothers and companions,
I will say, “Peace be within you.”
9 For the sake of the House of the Lord our God
I will seek your good.
