Salme 122

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

A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. BY DAVID. I have rejoiced in those saying to me, “We go to the house of YHWH.”

2 Vore Fødder stode i dine Porte, Jerusalem!

Our feet have been standing in your gates, O Jerusalem!

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

Jerusalem—the built one—[Is] as a city that is joined to itself together.

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

For there tribes have gone up, Tribes of YAH, companies of Israel, To give thanks to the Name of YHWH.

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

For there thrones of judgment have sat, Thrones of the house of David.

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

Ask [for] the peace of Jerusalem, Those loving you are at rest.

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

Peace is in your bulwark, rest in your high places,

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

For the sake of my brothers and my companions, Please let me speak, “Peace [be] in you.”

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

For the sake of the house of our God YHWH, I seek good for you!
