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

A Song of Ascents, of David.
I was glad when they said to me,
“Let us go to the house of the Lord.”

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

Our feet are standing
Within your gates, O Jerusalem,

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

“May peace be within your walls,
And prosperity within your palaces.”

To which the tribes go up, even the tribes of the Lord—
An ordinance for Israel—
To give thanks to the name of the Lord.

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

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