1 {A Song of degrees. Of David.} I rejoiced when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of Jehovah. 2 Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem.
3 Jerusalem, which art built as a city that is compact together, 4 Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of Jah, a testimony to Israel, to give thanks unto the name of Jehovah. 5 For there are set thrones for judgment, the thrones of the house of David.
6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee. 7 Peace be within thy bulwarks, prosperity within thy palaces. 8 For my brethren and companions' sakes I will say, Peace be within thee! 9 Because of the house of Jehovah our God I will seek thy good.
