1: I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the
house of the LORD. |
|
2: Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem.
|
|
3:
Jerusalem is builded as a city that is compact together:
|
|
4: Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, unto the
testimony of Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the LORD. |
|
5: For there are set thrones of 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 walls, and prosperity within thy palaces.
|
|
8: For my brethren and companions' sakes, I will now say, Peace
be within thee. |
|
9: Because of the house of the LORD our God I will seek thy good. |
