| 1 | <V 121:1>A Canticle in steps. I rejoiced in the things that were said to me: “We shall go into the house of the Lord.” | I was glad when they said to me, “Let us go to the house of the LORD!” | A song of ascents. Of David. I rejoiced with those who said to me, “Let us go to the house of the LORD.” | |
| 2 | <V 121:2>Our feet were standing in your courts, O Jerusalem. | Our feet have been standing within your gates, O Jerusalem! | Our feet are standing in your gates, Jerusalem. | |
| 3 | <V 121:3>Jerusalem has been built as a city, whose participation is unto itself. | Jerusalem—built as a city that is bound firmly together, | Jerusalem is built like a city that is closely compacted together. | |
| 4 | <V 121:4>For to that place, the tribes ascended, the tribes of the Lord: the testimony of Israel, to confess to the name of the Lord. | to which the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, as was decreed for Israel, to give thanks to the name of the LORD. | That is where the tribes go up— the tribes of the LORD— to praise the name of the LORD according to the statute given to Israel. | |
| 5 | <V 121:5>For in that place, seats have sat down in judgment, seats above the house of David. | There thrones for judgment were set, the thrones of the house of David. | There stand the thrones for judgment, the thrones of the house of David. | |
| 6 | <V 121:6>Petition for the things that are for the peace of Jerusalem, and for abundance for those who love you. | Pray for the peace of Jerusalem! “May they be secure who love you! | Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: “May those who love you be secure. | |
| 7 | <V 121:7>Let peace be in your virtue, and abundance in your towers. | Peace be within your walls and security within your towers!” | May there be peace within your walls and security within your citadels.” | |
| 8 | <V 121:8>For the sake of my brothers and my neighbors, I spoke peace about you. | For my brothers and companions’ sake I will say, “Peace be within you!” | For the sake of my family and friends, I will say, “Peace be within you.” | |
| 9 | <V 121:9>For the sake of the house of the Lord our God, I sought good things for you. | For the sake of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek your good. | For the sake of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek your prosperity. | |
