| 1 | I was glad when they said to me, “Let us go to 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 | And now here we are, standing inside your gates, O Jerusalem. | Our feet have been standing within your gates, O Jerusalem! | Our feet are standing in your gates, Jerusalem. | |
| 3 | Jerusalem is a well-built city; its seamless walls cannot be breached. | Jerusalem—built as a city that is bound firmly together, | Jerusalem is built like a city that is closely compacted together. | |
| 4 | All the tribes of Israel—the LORD’s people— make their pilgrimage here. They come to give thanks to the name of the LORD, as the law requires of Israel. | 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 | Here stand the thrones where judgment is given, the thrones of the dynasty 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 | Pray for peace in Jerusalem. May all who love this city prosper. | 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 | O Jerusalem, may there be peace within your walls and prosperity in your palaces. | 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 family and friends, I will say, “May you have peace.” | 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 | For the sake of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek what is best for you, O Jerusalem. | 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. | |
