 1 A Song of degrees. Of David. 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 like a city that is all joined together as one; 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 were set the thrones of judgment, the thrones of the house of David. 6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Those who love you shall be blessed. 7 Peace be within your walls, blessings 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.
