¹ I rejoiced in those who said to me,
"Let us go to the house^[b] of Yahweh."
² Our feet are standing
within your gates, O Jerusalem—
³ Jerusalem that is built
as a city that is joined together,
⁴ where the tribes go up,
the tribes of Yah^[c] as a testimony for Israel,
to give thanks to the name of Yahweh.
⁵ For there the thrones sit^[d] for judgment,
thrones of David's house.
⁶ Pray^[e] for the peace of Jerusalem:
"May those who love you be at ease.
⁷ May peace be within your walls,
security within your palaces."
⁸ For the sake of my brothers and my friends,
I will say, "Peace be within you."
⁹ For the sake of the house^[f] of Yahweh our God,
I will seek your good.
