Psalm 122:1–3

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.

1 I was glad when they said to me,

“Let us go to the house of the Lord!”

2 Our feet have been standing

within your gates, O Jerusalem!

3 Jerusalem—built as a city

that is bound firmly together,

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.

1 I was glad when they said to me, “Let us go into the house of the Lord.”

2 Our feet have been standing

Within your gates, O Jerusalem!

3 Jerusalem is built

As a city that is compact together,

1 I was happy when they said to me,

“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.

1 I was glad when they said unto me,

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;

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,

1 I was glad when they said to me, 

“Let’s go to the house of the Lord.” 

2 Our feet are standing inside your gates, Jerusalem. 

3 Jerusalem is built to be a city 

where the people are united. 

1 I rejoiced with those who said to me,

“Let us go to the house of the Lord.”

2 Our feet are standing

within your gates, Jerusalem —

3 Jerusalem, built as a city should be,

solidly joined together,

1 I was glad when they said to me,

“Let us go to the house of the Lord!”

2 Our feet are standing

within your gates, O Jerusalem.

3 Jerusalem—built as a city

that is bound firmly together.

1 I rejoiced in those who said to me,

“Let us go to the house of Yahweh.”

2 Our feet are standing

within your gates, O Jerusalem—

3 Jerusalem that is built

as a city that is joined together,

1 I was very glad when they said to me,

“Let us go up to the house of the Lord.”

2 Jerusalem, our feet are standing

inside your gates.

3 Jerusalem is built like a city

where everything is close together.

1 I was glad when they said to me,

“Let us go to the house of the Lord.”

2 Our feet are standing

Within your gates, O Jerusalem,

3 Jerusalem, that is built

As a city that is compact together;
