I was glad when they said to me,

Let us go into the house of the Lord.

2 Our feet stood

In thy courts, O Jerusalem.

3 Jerusalem is built as a city

Whose fellowship is complete.

4 For thither the tribes went up,

The tribes of the Lord, as a testimony for Israel,

To give thanks unto the name of the Lord.

5 For there are set thrones for judgment,

Even thrones for the house of David.

6 Pray now for the peace of Jerusalem:

And let there be prosperity to them that love thee.

7 Let peace, I pray, be within thy host,

And prosperity in thy palaces.

8 For the sake of my brethren and my neighbors,

I have indeed spoken peace concerning thee.

9 Because of the house of the Lord our God,

I have diligently sought thy good.
