| 1I rejoiced when they kept on asking me, "Let us go to the LORD's Temple." | 1A song of ascents. Of David. I was glad when they said to me, “Let us go to the house of the LORD.” |
| 2Our feet are standing inside your gates, Jerusalem. | 2Our feet are standing in your gates, O Jerusalem. |
| 3Jerusalem stands built up, a city knitted together. | 3Jerusalem is built up as a city united together, |
| 4To it the tribes ascend— the tribes of the LORD— as decreed to Israel, to give thanks to the name of the LORD. | 4where the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, as a testimony for Israel, to give thanks to the name of the LORD. |
| 5For thrones are established there for judgment, thrones of the house of David. | 5For there the thrones of judgment stand, the thrones of the house of David. |
| 6Pray for peace for Jerusalem: "May those who love you be at peace! | 6Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: “May those who love you prosper. |
| 7May peace be within your ramparts, and prosperity within your fortresses." | 7May there be peace within your walls, and prosperity inside your fortresses.” |
| 8For the sake of my relatives and friends I will now say, "May there be peace within you." | 8For the sake of my brothers and friends, I will say, “Peace be within you.” |
| 9For the sake of the Temple of the LORD our God, I will seek your welfare. | 9For the sake of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek your prosperity. |
