1A Song of Ascents, of David. I was glad<8055> when they said<559> to me, "Let us go<1980> to the house<1004> of the LORD<3068>."
2Our feet<7272> are standing<5975> Within your gates<8179>, O Jerusalem<3389>,
3Jerusalem<3389>, that is built<1129> As a city<5892> that is compact<2266> together<3164>;
4To which<8033> the tribes<7626> go<5927> up, even the tribes<7626> of the LORD<3050>-- An ordinance<5715> for Israel<3478>-- To give<3034> thanks<3034> to the name<8034> of the LORD<3068>.
5For there<8033> thrones<3678> were set<3427> for judgment<4941>, The thrones<3678> of the house<1004> of David<1732>.
6Pray<7592> for the peace<7965> of Jerusalem<3389>: "May they prosper<7951> who love<157> you.
7"May peace<7965> be within your walls<2426>, And prosperity<7962> within your palaces<759>."
8For the sake<4616> of my brothers<251> and my friends<7453>, I will now<4994> say<1696>, "May peace<7965> be within you."
9For the sake<4616> of the house<1004> of the LORD<3068> our God<430>, I will seek<1245> your good<2896>.
