The Psalms

[A Song of Ascents, of David.] I Was glad when they said to me, "Let us go to the house of the Lord."

Our feet are standing Within your gates, O Jerusalem,

Jerusalem, that is built As a city that is compact together;

To which the tribes go up, even the tribes of the Lord - An ordinance for Israel - To give thanks to the name of the Lord.

For there thrones were set for judgment, The thrones of the house of David.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: "May they prosper who love you.

"May peace be within your walls, And prosperity within your palaces."

For the sake of my brothers and my friends, I will now say, "May peace be within you."

For the sake of the house of the Lord our God I will seek your good.
