Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:
“May those who love you prosper;

A Davidic song of ascents.I rejoiced with those who said to me,
“Let us go to the house of the Lord.”

Jerusalem, built as a city should be,
solidly joined together,

Our feet are standing
within your gates, Jerusalem—

Because of my brothers and friends,
I will say, “Peace be with you.”

may there be peace within your walls,
prosperity within your fortresses.”

where the tribes, Yahweh’s tribes, go up
to give thanks to the name of Yahweh.
(This is an ordinance for Israel.)

There, thrones for judgment are placed,
thrones of the house of David.

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