Young's Literal Translation YLT
1 I was glad when they said to me, “Let us go to the house of the LORD .”
1
A Song of the Ascents, by David. I have rejoiced in those saying to me, `To the house of Jehovah we go.'
2 And now here we are, standing inside your gates, O Jerusalem.
2
Our feet have been standing in thy gates, O Jerusalem!
3 Jerusalem is a well-built city; its seamless walls cannot be breached.
3
Jerusalem -- the builded one -- [Is] as a city that is joined to itself together.
4 All the tribes of Israel—the LORD ’s people— make their pilgrimage here. They come to give thanks to the name of the LORD, as the law requires of Israel.
4
For thither have tribes gone up, Tribes of Jah, companies of Israel, To give thanks to the name of Jehovah.
5 Here stand the thrones where judgment is given, the thrones of the dynasty of David.
5
For there have sat thrones of judgment, Thrones of the house of David.
6 Pray for peace in Jerusalem. May all who love this city prosper.
6
Ask ye the peace of Jerusalem, At rest are those loving thee.
7 O Jerusalem, may there be peace within your walls and prosperity in your palaces.
7
Peace is in thy bulwark, rest in thy high places,
8 For the sake of my family and friends, I will say, “May you have peace.”
8
For the sake of my brethren and my companions, Let me speak, I pray thee, `Peace [be] in thee.'
9 For the sake of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek what is best for you, O Jerusalem.
9
For the sake of the house of Jehovah our God, I seek good for thee!
