A Song
of degrees
of David.
I was glad
when they said
unto me, Let us go
into the house
of the LORD.
Our feet
shall stand
within thy gates,
O Jerusalem.
Jerusalem
is builded
as a city
that is compact
together:
Whither
the tribes
go up,
the tribes
of the LORD,
unto the testimony
of Israel,
to give thanks
unto the name
of the LORD.
For there are set
thrones
of judgment,
the thrones
of the house
of David.
Pray
for the peace
of Jerusalem:
they shall prosper
that love
thee.
Peace
be within thy walls,
and prosperity
within thy palaces.
For my brethren
and companions'
sakes, I will now say,
Peace
be within thee.
Because of the house
of the LORD
our God
I will seek
thy good.
