Salme 122

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

“A psalm of the steps, or the goings up. By David.” I was glad when they said to me, Let us go up to the house of the LORD!

2 Vore Fødder stode i dine Porte, Jerusalem!

Our feet are standing Within thy gates, O Jerusalem!

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

Jerusalem, the rebuilt city! The city that is joined together!

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

Thither the tribes go up, The tribes of the LORD, according to the law of Israel, To praise the name of the LORD.

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

There stand the 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! May they prosper who love thee!

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

Peace be within thy walls, And prosperity within thy palaces!

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

For my brethren and companions' sake will I say, Peace be within thee!

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

For the sake of the house of the LORD, our God, Will I seek thy good!
