In context
1A song of ascents. Of David. 2Our feet are standing in your gates, 3Jerusalem is built up 4where the tribes go up, 5For there the thrones of judgment stand, 6Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: 7May there be peace within your walls, 8For the sake of my brothers and friends, 9For the sake of the house of the LORD our God,
