A Prayer for Total Well-being
Commentators explain that praying for peace "within thy walls" and prosperity "within thy palaces" is a comprehensive request for the total well-being of God's people. It covers everything from external security (walls) to internal leadership (palaces). This teaches us to pray for the complete health of the Church, including its protection and the flourishing of its leaders.
