1I was glad when they said to me,
“Let’s go to the house of the Lord .”
2Our feet are standing
Within your gates, Jerusalem,
3Jerusalem, that has been built
As a city that is firmly joined together;
4To which the tribes go up, the tribes of the Lord —[#122:4 Heb Yah]
An ordinance for Israel—
To give thanks to the name of the Lord .
5For thrones were set there for judgment,
The thrones of the house of David.
6¶Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:
“May they prosper who love you.
7“May peace be within your walls,
And prosperity within your palaces.”
8For the sake of my brothers and my friends,
I will now say, “May peace be within you.”
9For the sake of the house of the Lord our God,
I will seek your good.
