1A Song of Degrees. I was glad when they said to me, Let us go into the house of the Lord. 2Our feet stood in thy courts, O Jerusalem. 3Jerusalem is built as a city whose fellowship is complete. 4For thither the tribes went up, the tribes of the Lord, as a testimony for Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the Lord. 5For there are set thrones for judgment, [even] thrones for the house of David. 6Pray now for the peace of Jerusalem: and [let there be] prosperity to them that love thee. 7Let peace, I pray, be within thine host, and prosperity in thy palaces. 8For the sake of my brethren and my neighbours, I have indeed spoken peace concerning thee. 9Because of the house of the Lord our God, I have diligently sought thy good.
