³ Jerusalem—built as a city
    that is bound firmly together.^(B)
4 To it the tribes go up,
    the tribes of the Lord,
as was decreed for Israel,
    to give thanks to the name of the Lord.^(C)
5 For there the thrones for judgment were set up,
    the thrones of the house of David.^(D)

⁶ Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:
    “May they prosper who love you.^(E)
7 Peace be within your walls
    and security within your towers.”
⁸ For the sake of my relatives 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 good.^(F)

² In days to come
    the mountain of the Lord’s house
shall be established as the highest of the mountains
    and shall be raised above the hills;
all the nations shall stream to it.^(B)
3     Many peoples shall come and say,
“Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord,
    to the house of the God of Jacob,
that he may teach us his ways
    and that we may walk in his paths.”
For out of Zion shall go forth instruction
    and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.^(C)
4 He shall judge between the nations
    and shall arbitrate for many peoples;
they shall beat their swords into plowshares
    and their spears into pruning hooks;
nation shall not lift up sword against nation;
    neither shall they learn war any more.^(D)
5 O house of Jacob,
    come, let us walk
in the light of the Lord!^(E)
