Pray for the peace of Jerusalem! May those who love her prosper!

A song of ascents, by David. I was glad because they said to me, "We will go to the Lord's temple."

Jerusalem is a city designed to accommodate an assembly.

Our feet are standing inside your gates, O Jerusalem.

For the sake of my brothers and my neighbors I will say, "May there be peace in you!"

May there be peace inside your defenses, and prosperity inside your fortresses!

The tribes go up there, the tribes of the Lord, where it is required that Israel give thanks to the name of the Lord.

Indeed, the leaders sit there on thrones and make legal decisions, on the thrones of the house of David.

For the sake of the temple of the Lord our God I will pray for you to prosper.
