1 I rejoiced when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of Jehovah.

2Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem.

2 Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem.

4Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of the Lord, unto the testimony of Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the Lord.

4 Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of Jah, a testimony to Israel, to give thanks unto the name of Jehovah.

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

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

6Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.

6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.

7Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces.

7 Peace be within thy bulwarks, prosperity within thy palaces.

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

8 For my brethren and companions' sakes I will say, Peace be within thee!

9Because of the house of the Lord our God I will seek thy good.

9 Because of the house of Jehovah ourGod I will seek thy good.
