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

2 O ur feet are standing Within thy gates, O Jerusalem,

3 J erusalem, that art builded As a city that is compact together;

4 W hither the tribes go up, even the tribes of Jehovah, For an ordinance for Israel, To give thanks unto the name of Jehovah.

5 F or there are set thrones for judgment, The thrones of the house of David.

6 P ray for the peace of Jerusalem: They shall prosper that love thee.

7 P eace be within thy walls, And prosperity within thy palaces.

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

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