Pray for the peace of Jerusalem

1
A song of degrees, or Psalme of David. I rejoiced, when they sayd to me, We wil go into the house of the Lord.
2
Our feete shall stand in thy gates, O Ierusalem.
3
Ierusalem is builded as a citie, that is compact together in it selfe:
4
Whereunto the Tribes, euen the Tribes of the Lord go vp according to the testimonie to Israel, to prayse the Name of the Lord.
5
For there are thrones set for iudgement, euen the thrones of the house of Dauid.
6
Pray for the peace of Ierusalem: let them prosper that loue thee.
7
Peace be within thy walles, and prosperitie within thy palaces.
8
For my brethren and neighbours sakes I will wish thee now prosperitie.
9
Because of the House of the Lord our God, I will procure thy wealth.

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.
