[1]I WAS glad when they said to me, Let us go to the house of the LORD.[2]My feet shall stand within your gates, O Jerusalem.[3]Jerusalem is built like a city that is surrounded by a wall,[4]Whither 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 are thrones of judgment set, the thrones of the house of David.[6]Greet Jerusalem with peace; they shall prosper who love you.[7]Peace be within your walls and prosperity within your palaces.[8]For my brethren and companions' sakes, I will now say, Peace be within you.[9]For the sake of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek your good.
