1A Song of Ascents, of David. I was glad when they said to me, 'Let us go to the house of the LORD.'

2Our feet are standing Within your gates, O Jerusalem,

3Jerusalem, that is built As a city that is compact together;

4To which the tribes go up, even the tribes of the LORD-- An ordinance for Israel-- To give thanks to the name of the LORD.

5For there thrones were set for judgment, The thrones of the house of David.

6Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: 'May they prosper who love you.

7'May peace be within your walls, And prosperity within your palaces.'

8For the sake of my brothers and my friends, I will now say, 'May peace be within you.'

9For the sake of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek your good.
