1 I rejoiced when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of Jehovah.

2 O ur feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem.

3 J erusalem, which art built as a city that is compact together,

4 W hither the tribes go up, the tribes of Jah, a testimony to Israel, to give thanks unto the name of Jehovah.

5 F or there are set thrones for judgment, the thrones of the house of David.

6 P ray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.

7 P eace be within thy bulwarks, prosperity within thy palaces.

8 F or my brethren and companions' sakes I will say, Peace be within thee!

9 B ecause of the house of Jehovah our God I will seek thy good.
