4 ^aWhere the tribes go up,
The tribes of the Lord,
To ^bthe Testimony of Israel,
To give thanks to the name of the Lord. ‡

5 ^aFor thrones are set there for judgment,
The thrones of the house of David. ‡

8 For the sake of my brethren and companions,
I will now say, “Peace be within you.”

9 Because of the house of the Lord our God
I will ^aseek your good. ‡
