David prayeth for the peace of Jerusalem. (A Song of degrees of David.)

¹⁾I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORDLord.

²⁾Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem.

³⁾Jerusalem is builded as a city that is compact together:;

⁴⁾Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORDLord, unto the testimony of Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the LORDLord.

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

⁶⁾Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:; they shall prosper that love thee.

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

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

⁹⁾Because of the house of the LORDLord our God I will seek thy good.
