1 I was glad when they said to me,
         “Let us go into the house of the LORD.”
 2 Our feet have been standing
         Within your gates, O Jerusalem!
         
 3 Jerusalem is built
         As a city that is compact together,
 4 Where the tribes go up,
         The tribes of the LORD,
         To the Testimony of Israel,
         To give thanks to the name of the LORD.
 5 For thrones are set there for judgment,
         The thrones of the house of David.
         
 6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:
         “May they prosper who love you.
 7 Peace be within your walls,
         Prosperity within your palaces.”
 8 For the sake of my brethren and companions,
         I will now say, “Peace be within you.”
 9 Because of the house of the LORD our God
         I will seek your good.
