New International Version
A song of ascents. Of David.
1 I rejoiced with those who said to me, ‘Let us go to the house of the LORD.’
2 Our feet are standing in your gates, Jerusalem.
3 Jerusalem is built like a city that is closely compacted together.
4 That 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.
5 There stand the thrones for judgment, the thrones of the house of David.
6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: ‘May those who love you be secure.
7 May there be peace within your walls and security within your citadels.’
8 For the sake of my family and friends, I will say, ‘Peace be within you.’
9 For the sake of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek your prosperity.
