1 I was glad when they said to me,

"Let’s go to the LORD’s house!"

2 Our feet are standing within your gates, Jerusalem,

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

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

according to an ordinance for Israel,

to give thanks to the LORD’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 the LORD our God,

I will seek your good.

2 E agora aqui estamos, Jerusalém, pisando o teu chão, dentro das tuas portas!

3 Aqui estamos nesta grande cidade, cheia de gente!

5 É aqui que se encontram os tronos de julgamento, os tronos da casa de David.

7 Que haja paz no teu interior, e felicidade nas tuas casas!

8 É pensando no bem dos meus irmãos e dos meus amigos que repito: Haja paz no teu seio!

9 É também por causa do templo do Senhor, que desejo profundamente a tua ventura!
