1I was glad when they said to me,

“Let us go to the house of the Lord.”

2And now here we are,

standing inside your gates, O Jerusalem.

3Jerusalem is a well-built city;

its seamless walls cannot be breached.

4All 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.

5Here stand the thrones where judgment is given,

the thrones of the dynasty of David.

ESVEnglish Standard Version

I was glad when they said to me,

“Let us go to the house of the Lord!”

Our feet have been standing

within your gates, O Jerusalem!

Jerusalem—built as a city

that is bound firmly together,

to which the tribes go up,

the tribes of the Lord,

as was decreed for Israel,

to give thanks to the name of the Lord.

There thrones for judgment were set,

the thrones of the house of David.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

I rejoiced with those who said to me,

“Let us go to the house of the Lord.”

Our feet are standing

in your gates, Jerusalem.

Jerusalem is built like a city

that is closely compacted together.

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.

There stand the thrones for judgment,

the thrones of the house of David.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

I rejoiced with those who said to me,

“Let’s go to the house of the Lord.”

Our feet were standing

within your gates, Jerusalem—

Jerusalem, built as a city should be,

solidly united,

where the tribes, the Lord’s tribes, go up

to give thanks to the name of the Lord.

(This is an ordinance for Israel.)

There, thrones for judgment are placed,

thrones of the house of David.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

I rejoiced in those who said to me,

“Let us go to the house of Yahweh.”

Our feet are standing

within your gates, O Jerusalem—

Jerusalem that is built

as a city that is joined together,

where the tribes go up,

the tribes of Yah as a testimony for Israel,

to give thanks to the name of Yahweh.

For there the thrones sit for judgment,

thrones of David’s house.

KJV 1900King James Version

I was glad when they said unto me,

Let us go into the house of the Lord.

Our feet shall stand

Within thy gates, O Jerusalem.

Jerusalem is builded

As a city that is compact together:

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

Unto the testimony of Israel,

To give thanks unto the name of the Lord.

For there are set thrones of judgment,

The thrones of the house of David.
