⁷ O Jerusalem, may there be peace within your walls
    and prosperity in your palaces.

³ God himself is in Jerusalem’s towers,
    revealing himself as its defender.

¹³ I will teach all your children,
    and they will enjoy great peace.

⁷ His government and its peace
    will never end.
He will rule with fairness and justice from the throne of his ancestor David
    for all eternity.
The passionate commitment of the Lord of Heaven’s Armies
    will make this happen!

¹³ Take note of the fortified walls,
    and tour all the citadels,
that you may describe them
    to future generations.

“We are yours, David!
    We are on your side, son of Jesse.
Peace and prosperity be with you,
    and success to all who help you,
    for your God is the one who helps you.”
