< Salme 122 >
1 (Sang til Festrejserne. Af David.) Jeg frydede mig, da de sagde til mig: "Vi drager til HERRENs Hus!"
A song of degrees, or Psalme of David. I rejoiced, when they sayd to me, We wil go into the house of the Lord.
2 Så står vore Fødder da i dine Porte, Jerusalem,
Our feete shall stand in thy gates, O Ierusalem.
3 Jerusalem bygget som Staden, hvor Folket samles;
Ierusalem is builded as a citie, that is compact together in it selfe:
4 thi did op drager Stammerne, HERRENs Stammer en Vedtægt for Israel om at prise HERRENs Navn.
Whereunto the Tribes, euen the Tribes of the Lord go vp according to the testimonie to Israel, to prayse the Name of the Lord.
5 Thi der står Dommersæder, Sæder for Davids Hus.
For there are thrones set for iudgement, euen the thrones of the house of Dauid.
6 Bed om Jerusalems Fred! Ro finde de, der elsker dig!
Pray for the peace of Ierusalem: let them prosper that loue thee.
7 Der råde Fred på din Mur, Tryghed i dine Borge!
Peace be within thy walles, and prosperitie within thy palaces.
8 For Brødres og Frænders Skyld vil jeg ønske dig Fred,
For my brethren and neighbours sakes I will wish thee now prosperitie.
9 for Herren vor Guds hus's skyld vil jeg søge dit bedste.
Because of the House of the Lord our God, I will procure thy wealth.
