| 2Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem. | 2Our feet are standing inside your gates, Jerusalem. |
| 3Jerusalem is builded as a city that is compact together: | 3Jerusalem stands built up, a city knitted together. |
| 4Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, unto the testimony of Israel, to give thanks unto 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 there are set thrones of 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: they shall prosper that love thee. | 6Pray for peace for Jerusalem: "May those who love you be at peace! |
| 7Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces. | 7May peace be within your ramparts, and prosperity within your fortresses." |
| 8For my brethren and companions' sakes, I will now say, Peace be within thee. | 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 thy good. | 9For the sake of the Temple of the LORD our God, I will seek your welfare. |
