1 I rejoiced when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of Jehovah.
1A Song of the Ascents, by David. I have rejoiced in those saying to me, `To the house of Jehovah we go.'
1 I was glad because they said to me, We will go into the house of the Lord.
2 Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem.
2Our feet have been standing in thy gates, O Jerusalem!
2At last our feet were inside your doors, O Jerusalem.
3 Jerusalem, which art built as a city that is compact together,
3Jerusalem--the builded one--<FI> Is<Fi> as a city that is joined to itself together.
3O Jerusalem, you are like a town which is well joined together;
4 Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of Jah, a testimony to Israel, to give thanks unto the name of Jehovah.
4For thither have tribes gone up, Tribes of Jah, companies of Israel, To give thanks to the name of Jehovah.
4To which the tribes went up, even the tribes of the Lord, for a witness to Israel, to give praise to the name of the Lord.
5 For there are set thrones for judgment, the thrones of the house of David.
5For there have sat thrones of judgment, Thrones of the house of David.
5For there seats for the judges were placed, even the rulers' seats of the line of David.
6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.
6Ask ye the peace of Jerusalem, At rest are those loving thee.
6O make prayers for the peace of Jerusalem; may they whose love is given to you do well.
7 Peace be within thy bulwarks, prosperity within thy palaces.
7Peace is in thy bulwark, rest in thy high places,
7May peace be inside your walls, and wealth in your noble houses.
