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

2 O ur feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem.

3 J erusalem is builded as a city that is compact together:

4 W hither the tribes go up, the tribes of the Lord, unto the testimony of Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the Lord.

5 F or there are set thrones of 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 B ecause of the house of the Lord our God I will seek thy good.
