1 I rejoiced with those who said to me, "Let us go to the house of the LORD."2 Our feet are standing in your gates, Jerusalem.3 Jerusalem is built like a city that is closely compacted together.4 That is where the tribes go up — the tribes of the LORD — to praise the name of the LORD according to the statute given to Israel.5 There stand the thrones for judgment, the thrones of the house of David.6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: "May those who love you be secure.7 May there be peace within your walls and security within your citadels."8 For the sake of my family and friends, I will say, "Peace be within you."9 For the sake of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek your prosperity.

1 I was glad when they said to me, Let us go into the house of the LORD.2 Our feet shall stand within your gates, O Jerusalem.3 Jerusalem is built as a city that is compact together:4 Where the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, to the testimony of Israel, to give thanks to the name of the LORD.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 you.7 Peace be within your walls, and prosperity within your palaces.8 For my brothers and companions'sakes, I will now say, Peace be within you.9 Because of the house of the LORD our God I will seek your good.
