Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem A song of ascents. Of David (beloved). 1 I was glad when they said to me, “Let us go to the house of the LORD {YHWH}.” 2Our feet are standing in your gates, 3Jerusalem (city of peace) is built up 4where the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, as a testimony for Israel (he wrestles with God), to give thanks to the name of the LORD {YHWH}. 5For there the thrones of judgment stand, the thrones of the house of David (beloved). 6Pray for the peace of Jerusalem (city of peace): “May those who love you prosper (be secure).a 7May there be peace within your walls, and prosperity (security)b inside your fortresses.” 8For the sake of my brothers and friends, I will say, “Peace be within you.” 9For the sake of the house of the LORD our God {YHWH Elohenu}, I will seek your prosperity.
