Salme 122

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

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

2 Vore Fødder stode i dine Porte, Jerusalem!

Our feet are standing within your gates, 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, even Yah’s tribes, according to an ordinance for Israel, to give thanks to Yahweh’s name.

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

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

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

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

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 brothers’ and companions’ sakes, I will now 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 Yahweh our God, I will seek your good.
