to give thanks to the name of Yahweh.(d)

"May those who love you prosper;(g)
7 may there be peace within your walls,
prosperity within your fortresses."(h)
8 Because of my brothers and friends,
I will say, "Peace be with you."(i)
9 Because of the house of the Lord our God,
I will seek your good.(j)
