JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1I was glad when they said to me, “Let us go to the house of the LORD.”
1A Song of Ascents; of David. I rejoiced when they said unto me: 'Let us go unto the house of the LORD.'
2Our feet are standing in your gates, O Jerusalem.
2Our feet are standing within thy gates, O Jerusalem;
3Jerusalem is built up as a city united together,
3Jerusalem, that art builded as a city that is compact together;
4where the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, as a testimony for Israel, to give thanks to the name of the LORD.
4Whither the tribes went up, even the tribes of the LORD, as a testimony unto Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the LORD.
5For there the thrones of judgment stand, the thrones of the house of David.
5For there were set thrones for judgment, the thrones of the house of David.
6Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: “May those who love you prosper.
6Pray for the peace of Jerusalem; may they prosper that love thee.
7May there be peace within your walls, and prosperity inside your fortresses.”
7Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces.
8For the sake of my brothers and friends, I will say, “Peace be within you.”
8For my brethren and companions' sakes, I will now say: 'Peace be within thee.'
9For the sake of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek your prosperity.
9For the sake of the house of the LORD our God I will seek thy good.
