詩篇 122

1 我喜歡，因為有人向我說：我們要進入上主的聖殿。

A Song of Ascents. By David. I was glad when they said to me, “Let’s go to Yahweh’s house!”

2 耶路撒冷！我們的雙足已經站立在您的門口。

Our feet are standing within your gates, Jerusalem!

3 耶路撒冷的建築好似京城，確是內部劃一整齊的京城。

Jerusalem is built as a city that is compact together,

4 各支派，上主的各支派都齊聚在那裡，按照以色列的法律讚頌上主的名字。

where the tribes go up, even Yah’s tribes, according to an ordinance for Israel, to give thanks to Yahweh’s name.

5 那裡設立了執政者的座席，那裡有達味王室的寶位。

For there are set thrones for judgment, the thrones of David’s house.

6 請為耶路撒冷祈禱和平；願愛慕您的人獲享安寧，

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

7 願在您的城垣內有平安，願在您的堡壘中有安全。

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

8 為了我的兄弟和同伴們，我要向您說：祝您平安！

For my brothers’ and companions’ sakes, I will now say, “Peace be within you.”

9 為了上主我們天主的殿宇，我為您懇切祈禱，祝您幸福。

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