Salme 122

1 Jeg glædede mig ved dem, som sagde til mig: Vi ville gaa til Herrens Hus.

A song of ascents. Of David. I was glad when they said to me, “Let us go to the house of the LORD.”

2 Vore Fødder stode i dine Porte, Jerusalem!

Our feet are standing in your gates, O Jerusalem.

3 Jerusalem, du, som er bygget op som en Stad, der er tæt sammenbygget,

Jerusalem is built up as a city united together,

4 hvorhen Stammerne droge op, Herrens Stammer efter Israels Lov, for at prise Herrens Navn.

where the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, as a testimony for Israel, to give thanks to the name of the LORD.

5 Thi der var Stole satte til Dom, Stole for Davids Hus.

For there the thrones of judgment stand, the thrones of the house of David.

6 Beder om Jerusalems Fred; Ro finde de, som elske dig.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: “May those who love you prosper.

7 Der være Fred paa din Mur, Ro i dine Paladser!

May there be peace within your walls, and prosperity inside your fortresses.”

8 For mine Brødres og mine Venners Skyld vil jeg sige: Fred være i dig!

For the sake of my brothers and friends, I will say, “Peace be within you.”

9 For Herrens vor Guds Hus's Skyld vil jeg søge dit Bedste.

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