1 I was glad when they said to me, “Let ’s go to Yahweh ’s house!”
2 Our feet are standing within your gates, Jerusalem!
3 Jerusalem is built as a city that is compact together,
4 where the tribes go up, even Yah ’s tribes, according to an ordinance for Israel, to give thanks to Yahweh ’s name.
5 For there are set thrones for judgment, the thrones of David ’s house.
6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Those who love you will prosper.
7 Peace be within your walls, and prosperity within your palaces.
8 For my brothers’ and companions ’ sakes, I will now say, “Peace be within you.”
