[A Song of Degrees.]
[1] I was glad when they said to me, Let us go into the house of the Lord.
[2] Our feet stood in thy courts, O Jerusalem.
[3] Jerusalem is built as a city whose fellowship is complete.
[4] For thither the tribes went up, the tribes of the Lord, as a testimony for Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the Lord.
[5] For there are set thrones for judgment, even thrones for the house of David.
[6] Pray now for the peace of Jerusalem: and let there be prosperity to them that love thee.
[7] Let peace, I pray, be within thine host, and prosperity in thy palaces.
[8] For the sake of my brethren and my neighbours, I have indeed spoken peace concerning thee.
[9] Because of the house of the Lord our God, I have diligently sought thy good.
