1I was glad when they 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!”
2And now here we are, standing inside your gates, O Jerusalem.2Our feet have been standing within your gates, O Jerusalem!
3Jerusalem is a well-built city; its seamless walls cannot be breached.3Jerusalem—built as a city that is bound firmly together,
4All 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.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.
5Here stand the thrones where judgment is given, the thrones of the dynasty of David.5There thrones for judgment were set, the thrones of the house of David.
6Pray for peace in Jerusalem. May all who love this city prosper.6Pray for the peace of Jerusalem! “May they be secure who love you!
7O Jerusalem, may there be peace within your walls and prosperity in your palaces.7Peace be within your walls and security within your towers!”
8For the sake of my family and friends, I will say, “May you have peace.”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 what is best for you, O Jerusalem.9For the sake of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek your good.
