| 1A Song of Ascents. Of David. I was glad when they said to me, “Let us go into the house of the LORD.” | 1I rejoiced when they kept on asking me, "Let us go to the LORD's Temple." |
| 2Our feet have been standing Within your gates, O Jerusalem! | 2Our feet are standing inside your gates, Jerusalem. |
| 3Jerusalem is built As a city that is compact together, | 3Jerusalem stands built up, a city knitted together. |
| 4Where the tribes go up, The tribes of the LORD, To the Testimony of Israel, To give thanks to the name of the LORD. | 4To it the tribes ascend— the tribes of the LORD— as decreed to Israel, to give thanks to the name of the LORD. |
| 5For thrones are set there for judgment, The thrones of the house of David. | 5For thrones are established there for judgment, thrones of the house of David. |
| 6Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: “May they prosper who love you. | 6Pray for peace for Jerusalem: "May those who love you be at peace! |
| 7Peace be within your walls, Prosperity within your palaces.” | 7May peace be within your ramparts, and prosperity within your fortresses." |
| 8For the sake of my brethren and companions, I will now say, “Peace be within you.” | 8For the sake of my relatives and friends I will now say, "May there be peace within you." |
| 9Because of the house of the LORD our God I will seek your good. | 9For the sake of the Temple of the LORD our God, I will seek your welfare. |
