1I was glad when they said to me, “Let’s go to Adonai’s house!”

2Our feet are standing within your gates, Jerusalem [City of peace];

3Jerusalem [City of peace], that is built as a city that is compact together;

4where the tribes go up, even Yah’s tribes, according to a testimony for Israel [God prevails],
yadah ·extend hands in thankful praise· to Adonai’s name.

5For there are set thrones for judgment, the thrones of David [Beloved]’s house.

6Pray for the peace of Jerusalem [City of peace]. Those who 'ahav ·affectionately love· you will prosper.

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

8For my brothers’ and companions’ sakes, I will now say, “Peace be within you.”

9For the sake of the house of Yahweh Eloheikhem [Yahweh our God], I will seek your good.
