[1]{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.
