I’m concerned for my family and friends. So I say to Jerusalem, “May you enjoy peace.”
I’m a friend to everyone who has respect for you. I’m a friend to everyone who follows your rules.
I say about God’s people who live in our land, “They are the noble ones. I take great delight in them.”
When I remember what has happened, I tell God all my troubles. I remember how I used to walk to the house of God. The Mighty One guarded my steps. We shouted with joy and praised God as we went along with the joyful crowd.
Say to him, ‘May you live a long time! May everything go well with you and your family! And may things go well with everything that belongs to you!
