المَزامِير 122

١ 1 تَرْنِيمَةُ الْمَصَاعِدِ فَرِحْتُ بِالْقَائِلِينَ لِي: لِنَذْهَبْ مَعاً إِلَى بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ.

A Canticle in steps. I rejoiced in the things that were said to me: “We shall go into the house of the Lord.”

٢ 2 تَقِفُ أَقْدَامُنَا الآنَ دَاخِلَ أَبْوَابِكِ يَا أُورُشَلِيمُ.

Our feet were standing in your courts, O Jerusalem.

٣ 3 أُورُشَلِيمُ الْمَبْنِيَّةُ كَمَدِينَةٍ مُتَمَاسِكَةٍ مُتَّحِدَةٍ.

Jerusalem has been built as a city, whose participation is unto itself.

٤ 4 إِلَيْهَا صَعِدَتِ الأَسْبَاطُ، أَسْبَاطُ الرَّبِّ لِتَرْفَعَ الشُّكْرَ لَهُ بِحَسَبِ أَوَامِرِهِ.

For to that place, the tribes ascended, the tribes of the Lord: the testimony of Israel, to confess to the name of the Lord.

٥ 5 هُنَاكَ نُصِبَتْ عُرُوشُ الْقَضَاءِ، عُرُوشُ آلِ دَاوُدَ.

For in that place, seats have sat down in judgment, seats above the house of David.

٦ 6 صَلُّوا لأَجْلِ سَلامِ أُورُشَلِيمَ. لِيُفْلِحْ مُحِبُّوكِ وَيَطْمَئِنُّوا.

Petition for the things that are for the peace of Jerusalem, and for abundance for those who love you.

٧ 7 لِيَكُنِ السَّلامُ دَاخِلَ أَسْوَارِكِ، وَالأَمَانُ دَاخِلَ قُصُورِكِ.

Let peace be in your virtue, and abundance in your towers.

٨ 8 مِنْ أَجْلِ إِخْوَتِي وَأَصْحَابِي أَقُولُ: لِيَسُدْ فِيكِ سَلامٌ.

For the sake of my brothers and my neighbors, I spoke peace about you.

٩ 9 مِنْ أَجْلِ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِنَا أَلْتَمِسُ لَكِ خَيْراً.

For the sake of the house of the Lord our God, I sought good things for you.
