David says: Go into the house of the Lord-Give thanks unto him.

  1 I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the Lord.

  2 Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem.

  3 Jerusalem is builded as a city that is compact together:

  4 Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of the Lord, unto the testimony of Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the Lord.

  5 For there are set thrones of judgment, the thrones of the house of David.

  6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.

  7 Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces.

  8 For my brethren and companions' sakes, I will now say, Peace be within thee.

  9 Because of the house of the Lord our God I will seek thy good.
