1 I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go unto the house of Jehovah.
2 Our feet [244]are standing Within thy gates, O Jerusalem,
3 Jerusalem, that art builded As a city that is compact together;
4 Whither the tribes go up, even the tribes of [245]Jehovah, [For] [246]an ordinance for Israel, To give thanks unto the name of Jehovah.
5 For there [247]are set thrones for judgment, The thrones of the house of David.
6 [248]Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: [249]They shall prosper that love thee.
7 Peace be within thy walls, And prosperity within thy palaces.
8 For my brethren and companions' sakes, I will now say, Peace be within thee.
9 For the sake of the house of Jehovah our God I will seek thy good. Psalm 123 A Song of Ascents.
