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