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