New International VersionEnglish Standard Version
1A song of ascents. Of David. I rejoiced with those who said to me, "Let us go to the house of the LORD."1I was glad when they said to me, “Let us go to the house of the LORD!”
2Our feet are standing in your gates, Jerusalem.2Our feet have been standing within your gates, O Jerusalem!
3Jerusalem is built like a city that is closely compacted together.3Jerusalem—built as a city that is bound firmly together,
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.4to which the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, as was decreed for Israel, to give thanks to the name of the LORD.
5There stand the thrones for judgment, the thrones of the house of David.5There thrones for judgment were set, the thrones of the house of David.
6Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: "May those who love you be secure.6Pray for the peace of Jerusalem! “May they be secure who love you!
7May there be peace within your walls and security within your citadels."7Peace be within your walls and security within your towers!”
8For the sake of my family and friends, I will say, "Peace be within you."8For my brothers and companions’ sake I will say, “Peace be within you!”
9For the sake of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek your prosperity.9For the sake of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek your good.
