King James BibleNew International Version
1A Song of degrees of David. I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORD.1A song of ascents. Of David. I rejoiced with those who said to me, "Let us go to the house of the LORD."
2Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem.2Our feet are standing in your gates, Jerusalem.
3Jerusalem is builded as a city that is compact together:3Jerusalem is built like a city that is closely compacted together.
4Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, unto the testimony of Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the LORD.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.
5For there are set thrones of judgment, the thrones of the house of David.5There stand the thrones for judgment, the thrones of the house of David.
6Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.6Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: "May those who love you be secure.
7Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces.7May there be peace within your walls and security within your citadels."
8For my brethren and companions' sakes, I will now say, Peace be within thee.8For the sake of my family and friends, I will say, "Peace be within you."
9Because of the house of the LORD our God I will seek thy good.9For the sake of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek your prosperity.
