{A Song of degrees. Of David.} I rejoiced when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of Jehovah. |
2
|
Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem. |
3
|
Jerusalem, which art built as a city that is compact together, |
4
|
Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of Jah, a testimony to Israel, to give thanks unto the name of Jehovah. |
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 bulwarks, prosperity within thy palaces. |
8
|
For my brethren and companions' sakes I will say, Peace be within thee! |
9
|
Because of the house of Jehovah our God I will seek thy good. |
