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
.
