Our feet are standing within your gates, Jerusalem;

Jerusalem, that is built as a city that is joined together;
4 Ọ bụ ebe ahụ ka ebo niile na-arịgo, bụ ebo niile nke Onyenwe anyị, ịbụku aha Onyenwe anyị abụ dịka iwu o nyere ndị Izrel si dị.
where the tribes go up, even the tribes of the LORD, according to an ordinance for Israel, to give thanks to the name of the LORD.
5 Nʼebe ahụ ka ocheeze niile nke ikpe ikpe dị, bụ ocheeze niile nke ezinaụlọ Devid.
For there are set thrones for judgment, the thrones of David's house.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Those who love you will prosper.

Peace be within your walls, and prosperity within your palaces.

For my brothers' and companions' sakes, I will now say, "Peace be within you."

For the sake of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek your good.
