'Peace be within you.'

A Song of Ascents; of David
I rejoiced when they said unto me,
'Let us go unto the house of God.'
Our feet are standing within thy gates, O Jerusalem;
Jerusalem, you are built as a city that is compact together;
To which the tribes went up, even the tribes of the LORD,
A testimony unto Israel,
To give thanks unto the Name of God.
For there were set thrones for judgment,
The thrones of the house of David.
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem;
May they prosper who love you
May peace be within your walls,
And prosperity within your palaces.
For the sake of my brothers and my companions,
I will now say: 'Peace be within you.'
For the sake of the house of the One Who is our God
I will seek your good.
