1 I was glad when they said to me,

"Let’s go to Yahweh’s house!"

2 Our feet are standing within your gates, Jerusalem!

3 Jerusalem is built as a city that is compact together,

4 where the tribes go up, even Yah’s tribes,

according to an ordinance for Israel,

to give thanks to Yahweh’s name.

5 For there are set thrones for judgment,

the thrones of David’s house.

6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.

Those who love you will prosper.

7 Peace be within your walls,

and prosperity within your palaces.

8 For my brothers’ and companions’ sakes,

I will now say, "Peace be within you."

9 For the sake of the house of Yahweh our God,

I will seek your good.

1 A Song of degrees of David. I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORD.

2 Our feet stood within thy gates, O Jerusalem.

3 Jerusalem, that one which is built as a city that is well united together

4 Because the tribes went up there, the tribes of JAH, the testimony to Israel, to praise the name of the LORD.

5 For there are set thrones of the judgment, the thrones of the house of David.

6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem; those that love thee shall be brought into rest.

7 Peace be within thy walls [and] rest within thy palaces.

8 For my brethren and companions' sakes, I will now say, Peace [be] within thee.

9 Because of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek thy good.:
