1 I was glad when they said to me, Let us go up to the house of the LORD!
2 Our feet are standing Within thy gates, O Jerusalem!
3 Jerusalem, the rebuilt city! The city that is joined together!
4 Thither the tribes go up, The tribes of the LORD, according to the law of Israel, To praise the name of the LORD.
5 There stand the thrones of judgment, The thrones of the house of David.
6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem! May they prosper who love thee!
7 Peace be within thy walls, And prosperity within thy palaces!
8 For my brethren and companions’ sake will I say, Peace be within thee!
9 For the sake of the house of the LORD, our God, Will I seek thy good!
