I was glad when they said to me,
“Let us go into the house of the LORD.”

Within your gates, O Jerusalem!

Psa 122:3Jerusalem is built
As a city that is compact together,

The tribes of the LORD,
To the Testimony of Israel,
To give thanks to the name of the LORD.

Prosperity within your palaces.”

I will now say, “Peace be within you.”

I will seek your good.
