²¹ And the inhabitants of one city shall go to another, saying, Let us go speedily to pray before the LORD, and to seek the LORD of hosts: I will go also.

² When they had sent unto the house of God Sherezer and Regemmelech, and their men, to pray before the LORD,

²² Bless the LORD, all his works in all places of his dominion: bless the LORD, O my soul.

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.

¹ Praise ye the LORD. Praise the LORD, O my soul.

² While I live will I praise the LORD: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.

³ Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth.
