2Our feet are standing within thy gates, O Jerusalem;
2Our feet are standing in your gates, O Jerusalem.

3Jerusalem is built up as a city united together,
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.
4where the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, as a testimony for Israel, to give thanks to the name of the LORD.

6Pray for the peace of Jerusalem; may they prosper that love thee.
6Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: “May those who love you prosper.
7Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces.
7May there be peace within your walls, and prosperity inside your fortresses.”
8For my brethren and companions' sakes, I will now say: 'Peace be within thee.'
8For the sake of my brothers and friends, I will say, “Peace be within you.”
9For the sake of the house of the LORD our God I will seek thy good.
