1 I was glad when they said to me, Let us go to the house of Jehovah.

2 Our feet are standing inside thy gates, O Jerusalem.

3 Jerusalem, that is built as a city that is compact together,

4 where the tribes go up, even the tribes of Jehovah, for an ordinance for Israel, to give thanks to the name of Jehovah.

5 For there thrones are set for judgment, the thrones of the house of David.

6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. They shall prosper who love thee.

7 Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces.

8 For my brothers and companions' sakes I will now say, Peace be within thee.

9 For the sake of the house of Jehovah our God I will seek thy good.
