Pray for the peace of Jerusalem

1
I rejoiced at the things that were said to me: We shall go into the house of the Lord.
2
Our feet were standing in thy courts, O Jerusalem.
3
Jerusalem, which is built as a city, which is compact together.
4
For thither did the tribes go up, the tribes of the Lord: the testimony of Israel, to praise the name of the Lord.
5
Because their seats have sat in judgment, seats upon the house of David.
6
Pray ye for the things that are for the peace of Jerusalem: and abundance for them that love thee.
7
Let peace be in thy strength: and abundance in thy towers.
8
For the sake of my brethren, and of my neighbours, I spoke peace of thee.
9
Because of the house of the Lord our God, I have sought good things for thee.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem

1
I was glad when they said to me,Let’s go to the LORD’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 the LORD’s tribes, according to an ordinance for Israel, to give thanks to the LORD’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.”
9
For the sake of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek your good.
