¹ I was glad when they said to me,
"Let us ^(a)go to the house of the Lord."
² Our feet are standing
Within your ^(b)gates, O Jerusalem,
³ Jerusalem, that is ^(c)built
As a city that is ^(d)compact together;
⁴ To which the tribes ^(e)go up, even the tribes of ^[a]the Lord—
^[b]An ordinance for Israel—
To give thanks to the name of the Lord.
⁵ For there ^(f)thrones were set for judgment,
The thrones of the house of David.

⁶ Pray for the ^(g)peace of Jerusalem:
"May they prosper who ^(h)love you.
⁷ "May peace be within your ⁽ⁱ⁾walls,
And prosperity within your ^(j)palaces."
⁸ For the sake of my ^(k)brothers and my friends,
I will now say, "^(l)May peace be within you."
⁹ For the sake of the house of the Lord our God,
I will ^(m)seek your good.
