• Prayer for the Peace of Jerusalem.

  • 1 I was glad when they said to me, “Let’s go to the house of the Lord.”
  • 2 Our feet are standing Within your gates, Jerusalem,
  • 3 Jerusalem, that has been built As a city that is firmly joined together;
  • 4 To which the tribes go up, the tribes of the Lord— An ordinance for Israel— To give thanks to the name of the Lord.
  • 5 For thrones were set there for judgment, The thrones of the house of David.
  • 6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: “May they prosper who love you.
  • 7 “May peace be within your walls, And prosperity within your palaces.”
  • 8 For the sake of my brothers and my friends, I will now say, “May peace be within you.”
  • 9 For the sake of the house of the Lord our God, I will seek your good.
