Pray for the peace of Jerusalem

1
A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. BY DAVID. I have rejoiced in those saying to me, “We go to the house of YHWH.”
2
Our feet have been standing in your gates, O Jerusalem!
3
Jerusalemthe built one—[Is] as a city that is joined to itself together.
4
For there tribes have gone up, || Tribes of YAH, companies of Israel, || To give thanks to the Name of YHWH.
5
For there thrones of judgment have sat, || Thrones of the house of David.
6
Ask [for] the peace of Jerusalem, || Those loving you are at rest.
7
Peace is in your bulwark, rest in your high places,
8
For the sake of my brothers and my companions, || Please let me speak, “Peace [be] in you.”
9
For the sake of the house of our God YHWH, || I seek good for you!

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.
