A Song of Ascents; of David.
1 I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go unto the house of theLord.
2 Our feet are standing within thy gates, O Jerusalem;
3 Jerusalem, that art builded as a city that is compact together:
4 Whither the tribes go up, even the tribes of theLordfora testimony unto Israel, to give thanks into the name of theLord.
5 For there are set thrones for judgment, the thrones of the house of David.
6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.
7 Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces.
8 For my brethren and companions’ sakes, I will now say, Peace be within thee.
9 For the sake of the house of theLordour God I will seek thy good.
