Prayer for the Peace of Jerusalem.

1 A Song of Ascents, of David.
I was glad when they said to me,
“Let us (A)go to the house of the Lord.”
2
Our feet are standing
Within your (B)gates, O Jerusalem,
3
Jerusalem, that is (C)built
As a city that is (D)compact together;
4
To which the tribes (E)go up, even the tribes of (a)the Lord
(b)An ordinance for Israel—
To give thanks to the name of the Lord.
5
For there (F)thrones were set for judgment,
The thrones of the house of David.
6
Pray for the (G)peace of Jerusalem:
“May they prosper who (H)love you.
7
“May peace be within your (I)walls,
And prosperity within your (J)palaces.”
8
For the sake of my (K)brothers and my friends,
I will now say, “(L)May peace be within you.”
9
For the sake of the house of the Lord our God,
I will (M)seek your good.
