< Salme 122 >

1 Sang til Festrejserne. Af David. Jeg frydede mig, da de sagde til mig: »Vi drager til HERRENS Hus!«
A Song of Ascents; of David. I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go unto the house of the LORD.
2 Saa staar vore Fødder da i dine Porte, Jerusalem,
Our feet are standing within thy gates, O Jerusalem;
3 Jerusalem bygget som Staden, hvor Folket samles;
Jerusalem, that art builded as a city that is compact together:
4 thi didop drager Stammerne, HERRENS Stammer: en Vedtægt for Israel om at prise HERRENS Navn.
Whither the tribes go up, even the tribes of the LORD [for] a testimony unto Israel, to give thanks into the name of the LORD.
5 Thi der staar Dommersæder, Sæder for Davids Hus.
For there are set thrones for judgment, the thrones of the house of David.
6 Bed om Jerusalems Fred! Ro finde de, der elsker dig!
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.
7 Der raade Fred paa din Mur, Tryghed i dine Borge!
Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces.
8 For Brødres og Frænders Skyld vil jeg ønske dig Fred,
For my brethren and companions’ sakes, I will now say, Peace be within thee.
9 for HERREN vor Guds Hus's Skyld vil jeg søge dit Bedste.
For the sake of the house of the LORD our God I will seek thy good.
