David's Psalm about Jerusalem. | |
1 I was glad when they said to me, “Let’s go to the LORD’s house!” | How does the psalmist feel about going to the house of the LORD? |
2 Our feet are standing within your gates, Jerusalem! 3 Jerusalem is built as a city that is compact together, 4 where the tribes go up, even the LORD’s tribes, according to an ordinance for Israel, to give thanks to the LORD’s name. | What do the tribes of Israel do when they go up to Jerusalem? |
5 For there are set thrones for judgement, the thrones of David’s house. 6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Those who love you will prosper. 7 Peace be within your walls, and prosperity within your palaces. | What is prayed for concerning Jerusalem? |
8 For my brothers’ and companions’ sakes, I will now say, “Peace be within you.” 9 For the sake of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek your good. | Why does the psalmist desire peace for the city? |
