International Standard Version | New American Standard Bible 1995 |
1I rejoiced when they kept on asking me, "Let us go to the LORD's Temple." | 1A Song of Ascents, of David. I was glad when they said to me, "Let us go to the house of the LORD." |
2Our feet are standing inside your gates, Jerusalem. | 2Our feet are standing Within your gates, O Jerusalem, |
3Jerusalem stands built up, a city knitted together. | 3Jerusalem, that is built As a city that is compact together; |
4To it the tribes ascend— the tribes of the LORD— as decreed to Israel, to give thanks to the name of the LORD. | 4To which the tribes go up, even the tribes of the LORD-- An ordinance for Israel-- To give thanks to the name of the LORD. |
5For thrones are established there for judgment, thrones of the house of David. | 5For there thrones were set for judgment, The thrones of the house of David. |
6Pray for peace for Jerusalem: "May those who love you be at peace! | 6Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: "May they prosper who love you. |
7May peace be within your ramparts, and prosperity within your fortresses." | 7"May peace be within your walls, And prosperity within your palaces." |
8For the sake of my relatives and friends I will now say, "May there be peace within you." | 8For the sake of my brothers and my friends, I will now say, "May peace be within you." |
9For the sake of the Temple of the LORD our God, I will seek your welfare. | 9For the sake of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek your good. |
