New International VersionChristian Standard Bible
1A song of ascents. Of David. I rejoiced with those who said to me, "Let us go to the house of the LORD."1I rejoiced with those who said to me, "Let us go to the house of the LORD."
2Our feet are standing in your gates, Jerusalem.2Our feet were standing within your gates, Jerusalem--
3Jerusalem is built like a city that is closely compacted together.3Jerusalem, built as a city should be, solidly united,
4That 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.4where the tribes, the LORD's tribes, go up to give thanks to the name of the LORD. (This is an ordinance for Israel.)
5There stand the thrones for judgment, the thrones of the house of David.5There, thrones for judgment are placed, thrones of the house of David.
6Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: "May those who love you be secure.6Pray for the well-being of Jerusalem: "May those who love you be secure;
7May there be peace within your walls and security within your citadels."7may there be peace within your walls, security within your fortresses."
8For the sake of my family and friends, I will say, "Peace be within you."8Because of my brothers and friends, I will say, "May peace be in you."
9For the sake of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek your prosperity.9Because of the house of the LORD our God, I will pursue your prosperity.
