Psalms 122

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

A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. BY DAVID. I have rejoiced in those saying to me, “We go to the house of YHWH.”

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

Our feet have been standing in your gates, O Jerusalem!

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

Jerusalem—the built one—[Is] as a city that is joined to itself together.

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

For there tribes have gone up, Tribes of YAH, companies of Israel, To give thanks to the Name of YHWH.

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

For there thrones of judgment have sat, Thrones of the house of David.

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

Ask [for] the peace of Jerusalem, Those loving you are at rest.

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

Peace is in your bulwark, rest in your high places,

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

For the sake of my brothers and my companions, Please let me speak, “Peace [be] in you.”

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

For the sake of the house of our God YHWH, I seek good for you!
