Let Us Go to the House of the Lord
A Song of aAscents. Of David.
I was glad when they said to me,
b“Let us go to the house of the Lord!”
2 Our feet have been standing
within your gates, O Jerusalem!
3 Jerusalem—abuilt as a city
that is bbound firmly together,
4 to which the tribes ago up,
the tribes of the Lord,
as was bdecreed for Israel,
to give thanks to the name of the Lord.
5 There athrones for judgment were set,
the thrones of the house of David.
6 aPray for the peace of Jerusalem!
“May they be secure who love you!
7 Peace be within your awalls
and security within your atowers!”
8 For my brothers and companions’ sake
I will say, a“Peace be within you!”
9 For the sake of the house of the Lord our God,
I will aseek your good.
