2 O ur feet are standing within your gates, Jerusalem;

3 J erusalem, that is built as a city that is compact together;

4 w here the tribes go up, even Yah’s tribes, according to an ordinance for Israel, to give thanks to Yahweh’s name.

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

6 P ray for the peace of Jerusalem. Those who love you will prosper.

7 P eace be within your walls, and prosperity within your palaces.

8 F or my brothers’ and companions’ sakes, I will now say, “Peace be within you.”

9 F or the sake of the house of Yahweh our God, I will seek your good.
