    Now our feet are standing *
    within your gates, O Jerusalem.

  3. 3

    Jerusalem is built as a city *
    that is at unity with itself;

  4. 4

    To which the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, *
    the assembly of Israel, to praise the Name of the LORD.

    For there are the thrones of judgment, *
    the thrones of the house of David.

    Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: *
    "May they prosper who love you.

    Peace be within your walls *
    and quietness within your towers.

    For my brethren and companions' sake, *
    I pray for your prosperity.

    Because of the house of the LORD our God, *
    I will seek to do you good."
