Holman Christian Standard BibleNET Bible
1A Davidic song of ascents. I rejoiced with those who said to me," Let us go to the house of the LORD." 1A song of ascents, by David. I was glad because they said to me, "We will go to the LORD's temple."
2Our feet are standing within your gates, Jerusalem-- 2Our feet are standing inside your gates, O Jerusalem.
3Jerusalem, built as a city should be, solidly joined together, 3Jerusalem is a city designed to accommodate an assembly.
4where the tribes, Yahweh's tribes, go up to give thanks to the name of Yahweh. (This is an ordinance for Israel.) 4The tribes go up there, the tribes of the LORD, where it is required that Israel give thanks to the name of the LORD.
5There, thrones for judgment are placed, thrones of the house of David. 5Indeed, the leaders sit there on thrones and make legal decisions, on the thrones of the house of David.
6Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:" May those who love you prosper; 6Pray for the peace of Jerusalem! May those who love her prosper!
7may there be peace within your walls, prosperity within your fortresses." 7May there be peace inside your defenses, and prosperity inside your fortresses!
8Because of my brothers and friends, I will say, "Peace be with you." 8For the sake of my brothers and my neighbors I will say, "May there be peace in you!"
9Because of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek your good. 9For the sake of the temple of the LORD our God I will pray for you to prosper.
