Salme 122

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

I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORD.

2 Vore Fødder stode i dine Porte, Jerusalem!

Our feet shall stand within your gates, O Jerusalem.

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

Jerusalem is built as a city that is compact 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, unto the testimony of Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the LORD.

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

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

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

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love you.

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

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

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

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

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

Because of the house of the LORD our God I will seek your good.
