| 1I rejoiced with those who said to me, "Let us go to the house of the LORD." | 1A Song of degrees of David. I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORD. |
| 2Our feet were standing within your gates, Jerusalem-- | 2Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem. |
| 3Jerusalem, built as a city should be, solidly united, | 3Jerusalem is builded as a city that is compact together: |
| 4where the tribes, the LORD's tribes, go up to give thanks to the name of the LORD. (This is an ordinance for Israel.) | 4Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, unto the testimony of Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the LORD. |
| 5There, thrones for judgment are placed, thrones of the house of David. | 5For there are set thrones of judgment, the thrones of the house of David. |
| 6Pray for the well-being of Jerusalem: "May those who love you be secure; | 6Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee. |
| 7may there be peace within your walls, security within your fortresses." | 7Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces. |
| 8Because of my brothers and friends, I will say, "May peace be in you." | 8For my brethren and companions' sakes, I will now say, Peace be within thee. |
| 9Because of the house of the LORD our God, I will pursue your prosperity. | 9Because of the house of the LORD our God I will seek thy good. |
