Psalms 122

1 I was glad when they said to me, Let us go to the house of Jehovah.

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

2 Our feet are standing inside thy gates, O Jerusalem.

Vore Fødder stode i dine Porte, Jerusalem!

3 Jerusalem, that is built as a city that is compact together,

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

4 where the tribes go up, even the tribes of Jehovah, for an ordinance for Israel, to give thanks to the name of Jehovah.

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

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

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

6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. They shall prosper who love thee.

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

7 Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces.

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

8 For my brothers and companions' sakes I will now say, Peace be within thee.

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

9 For the sake of the house of Jehovah our God I will seek thy good.

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