[[A song of degrees, or Psalm Chapter of David.]]
[1] I rejoiced, when they said to me, We will go into the house of the Lord.
[2] Our feet shall stand in thy gates, O Jerusalem.
[3] Jerusalem is builded as a city, that is compact together in itself:
[4] Whereunto the tribes, even the tribes of the Lord go up according to the testimony to Israel, to praise the name of the Lord.
[5] For there are thrones set for judgment, even the thrones of the house of David.
[6] Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: let them prosper that love thee.
[7] Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces.
[8] For my brethren and neighbors' sakes I will wish thee now prosperity.
[9] Because of the house of the Lord our God, I will procure thy wealth.
