A1 Song of degrees of David.

1

I WAS glad when they said unto me, Let us go 2into the house of the LORD.

2

Our feet 3shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem.

3

Jerusalem is builded 4as a city that is compact together:

4

Whither 5the tribes 6go up, the tribes of the LORD, 7unto the testimony of 8Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the LORD.

5

For 9there are set 10thrones of judgment, the thrones of the house of David.

6

11Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love 12thee.

7

Peace be within thy 13walls, and 14prosperity within thy palaces.

8

For my 15brethren and companions’ sakes, 16I will now say, Peace be within thee.

9

Because 17of the house of the LORD our God Ia will seek thy good.
