2Our feet are standing within your gates, Jerusalem-- 2Our feet were standing within your gates, Jerusalem--
3Jerusalem, built as a city should be, solidly joined together, 3Jerusalem, built as a city should be, solidly united,
4where the tribes, Yahweh's tribes, go up to give thanks to the name of Yahweh. (This is an ordinance for Israel.) 4where the tribes, the LORD's tribes, go up to give thanks to the name of the LORD. (This is an ordinance for Israel.)
5There, thrones for judgment are placed, thrones of the house of David. 5There, thrones for judgment are placed, thrones of the house of David.
6Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:" May those who love you prosper; 6Pray for the well-being of Jerusalem: "May those who love you be secure;
7may there be peace within your walls, prosperity within your fortresses." 7may there be peace within your walls, security within your fortresses."
8Because of my brothers and friends, I will say, "Peace be with you." 8Because of my brothers and friends, I will say, "May peace be in you."
9Because of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek your good. 9Because of the house of the LORD our God, I will pursue your prosperity.
