1I rejoiced when they said to me, We will go into the house of the Lord.
2Our feet shall stand in thy gates, O Jerusalem.
3Jerusalem is built as a city, that is compact together in itself:
4Whereunto the Tribes, even the Tribes of the Lord go up according to the testimony to Israel, to praise the Name of the Lord.
5For there are thrones set for judgment, even the thrones of the house of David.
6Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: let them prosper that love thee.
7Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces.
8For my brethren and neighbors’ sakes, I will wish thee now prosperity.
9Because of the House of the Lord our God, I will procure thy wealth.
