| 1 A Song of Ascents, of David. I was glad when they said to me, "Let us go to the house of the LORD." | 1 I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORD. | 1 [A song by David for going up to worship.] I was glad when they said to me, "Let's go to the house of the LORD." | 1 I was glad when they said to me, "Let's go to Yahweh's house!" | 1 {A Song of degrees. Of David.} I rejoiced when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of Jehovah. | 2 Our feet are standing Within your gates, O Jerusalem, | 2 Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem. | 2 Our feet are standing inside your gates, Jerusalem. | 2 Our feet are standing within your gates, Jerusalem; | 2 Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem. | 3 Jerusalem, that is built As a city that is compact together; | 3 Jerusalem is builded as a city that is compact together: | 3 Jerusalem is built to be a city where the people are united. | 3 Jerusalem, that is built as a city that is compact together; | 3 Jerusalem, which art built as a city that is compact together, | 4 To which the tribes go up, even the tribes of the LORD-- An ordinance for Israel-- To give thanks to the name of the LORD. | 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. | 4 All of the LORD's tribes go to that city because it is a law in Israel to give thanks to the name of the LORD. | 4 where the tribes go up, even Yah's tribes, according to an ordinance for Israel, to give thanks to the name of Yahweh. | 4 Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of Jah, a testimony to Israel, to give thanks unto the name of Jehovah. | 5 For there thrones were set for judgment, The thrones of the house of David. | 5 For there are set thrones of judgment, the thrones of the house of David. | 5 The court of justice sits there. It consists of [princes who are] David's descendants. | 5 For there are set thrones for judgment, the thrones of David's house. | 5 For there are set thrones for judgment, the thrones of the house of David. | NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
