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.

1 I was glad when they said unto me,

Let us go into the house of the Lord.

2 Our feet shall stand

Within thy gates, O Jerusalem.

3 Jerusalem is builded

As a city that is compact together:

4 Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of the Lord,

Unto the testimony of Israel,

To give thanks unto the name of the Lord.

1 I was glad when they said to me,

“Let us go to the house of the Lord.”

2 And now here we are,

standing inside your gates, O Jerusalem.

3 Jerusalem is a well-built city;

its seamless walls cannot be breached.

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.

The tribes of the Lord,

To the Testimony of Israel,

To give thanks to the name of the Lord.

“Let’s go to the Temple of the Lord.”

2 Jerusalem, we are standing

at your gates.

3 Jerusalem is built as a city

with the buildings close together.

4 The tribes go up there,

the tribes who belong to the Lord.

It is the rule in Israel

to praise the Lord at Jerusalem.

Let us go unto the house of Jehovah.

2 Our feet are standing

Within thy gates, O Jerusalem,

3 Jerusalem, that art builded

As a city that is compact together;

For an ordinance for Israel,

To give thanks unto the name of Jehovah.

1 I rejoiced when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of Jehovah. 2 Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem. 3 Jerusalem, which art built as a city that is compact together, 4 Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of Jah, a testimony to Israel, to give thanks unto the name of Jehovah.
