2 Our feet were standing in thy courts, O Jerusalem. Our feet have been standing within your gates, O Jerusalem! Our feet are standing in your gates, Jerusalem.
3 Jerusalem, which is built as a city, which is compact together. Jerusalem—built as a city that is bound firmly together, Jerusalem is built like a city that is closely compacted together.
4 For thither did the tribes go up, the tribes of the Lord: the testimony of Israel, to praise 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 Because their seats have sat in judgment, seats upon 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.

7 Let peace be in thy strength: and abundance in thy towers. Peace be within your walls and security within your towers!” May there be peace within your walls and security within your citadels.”
8 For the sake of my brethren, and of my neighbours, I spoke peace of thee. 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 Because of the house of the Lord our God, I have sought good things for thee. 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.
