1 ¶ A Song of degrees of David. I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORD.
|
|
2 Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem.
|
|
3 Jerusalem is builded as a city that is compact together:
|
|
4 Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, unto the testimony of Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the LORD.
|
|
5 For there are1 set thrones of 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 Because of the house of the LORD our God I will seek thy good.
