| 1I rejoiced when they kept on asking me, "Let us go to the LORD's Temple." | 1A Davidic song of ascents. I rejoiced with those who said to me," Let us go to the house of the LORD." |
| 2Our feet are standing inside your gates, Jerusalem. | 2Our feet are standing within your gates, Jerusalem-- |
| 3Jerusalem stands built up, a city knitted together. | 3Jerusalem, built as a city should be, solidly joined 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, Yahweh's tribes, go up to give thanks to the name of Yahweh. (This is an ordinance for Israel.) |
| 5For thrones are established there for judgment, thrones of the house of David. | 5There, thrones for judgment are placed, 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, prosperity within your fortresses." |
| 8For the sake of my relatives and friends I will now say, "May there be peace within you." | 8Because of my brothers and friends, I will say, "Peace be with you." |
| 9For the sake of the Temple of the LORD our God, I will seek your welfare. | 9Because of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek your good. |
