- {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.
