Pray for the peace of Jerusalem

1
A song of ascents, of David. I was glad when they said to me, “Let us go to the house of Yahweh.”
2
Jerusalem, our feet are standing within your gates!
3
Jerusalem, built as a city carefully planned!
4
The tribes go up to Jerusalem-the tribes of Yahweh-as a testimony for Israel, to give thanks to the name of Yahweh.
5
There thrones of judgment were set, thrones of the house of David.
6
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem! “May those who love you have peace.
7
May there be peace within the walls that defend you, and may they have peace within your fortresses.”
8
For the sake of my brothers and my friends I will say, “May there be peace within you.”
9
For the sake of the house of Yahweh our God, I will seek good for you.
