⁵ If I forget you,^(A) Jerusalem,
    may my right hand forget its skill.

⁵⁰ You who have escaped the sword,
    leave^(A) and do not linger!
Remember^(B) the Lord in a distant land,^(C)
    and call to mind Jerusalem.”

¹⁷ “Woe to the worthless shepherd,^(A)
    who deserts the flock!
May the sword strike his arm^(B) and his right eye!
    May his arm be completely withered,
    his right eye totally blinded!”^(C)

⁵ There stand the thrones for judgment,
    the thrones of the house of David.

⁶ Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:
    “May those who love^(A) you be secure.
⁷ May there be peace^(B) within your walls
    and security within your citadels.^(C)”
⁸ For the sake of my family and friends,
    I will say, “Peace be within you.”
⁹ For the sake of the house of the Lord our God,
    I will seek your prosperity.^(D)

⁶ I have posted watchmen^(A) on your walls, Jerusalem;
    they will never be silent day or night.
You who call on the Lord,
    give yourselves no rest,^(B)
7 and give him no rest^(C) till he establishes Jerusalem
    and makes her the praise^(D) of the earth.

¹³ You will arise^(A) and have compassion^(B) on Zion,
    for it is time^(C) to show favor^(D) to her;
    the appointed time^(E) has come.
¹⁴ For her stones are dear to your servants;
    her very dust moves them to pity.

¹⁰ Better is one day in your courts
    than a thousand elsewhere;
I would rather be a doorkeeper^(A) in the house of my God
    than dwell in the tents of the wicked.
