A Song of Degrees. I was glad when they said to me, Let us go into the house of the Lord.
Our feet stood in thy courts, O Jerusalem.
Jerusalem is built as a city whose fellowship is complete.
For the tribes went up, the tribes of the Lord, as a testimony for Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the Lord.
For there are set thrones for judgment, [even] thrones for the house of David.
Pray now for the peace of Jerusalem: and [let there be] prosperity to them that love thee.
Let peace, I pray, be within thine host, and prosperity in thy palaces.
For the sake of my brethren and my neighbours, I have indeed spoken peace concerning thee.
Because of the house of the Lord our God, I have diligently sought thy good.
