Let the prayer of your servants rise before you, O Lord, that
with pure and undivided hearts
we may celebrate the great mystery of the incarnation of
your only-begotten Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy
Spirit, God for ever and ever. Amen
1 I was glad when they said to me,
“Let us go to the
house of the Lord!”
2 Our feet have been standing
within your gates,
O Jerusalem!
3 Jerusalem—built as a city
that is bound
firmly together,
4 to which the tribes go up, the tribes of the Lord,
as was decreed for
Israel, to give thanks to the name of the Lord.
5 There thrones for judgment were set,
the thrones of the
house of David.
6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!
“May they be
secure who love you!
7 Peace be within your walls
and security
within your towers!”
8 For my brothers and companions' sake
I will say, “Peace
be within you!”
9 For the sake of the house of the Lord our God,
I will seek your
good.
