< Psalms 122 >
1 A Song of Ascents. By David. I was glad when they said to me, “Let’s go to the LORD’s house!”
大卫上行之诗。 人对我说:我们往耶和华的殿去, 我就欢喜。
2 Our feet are standing within your gates, Jerusalem!
耶路撒冷啊, 我们的脚站在你的门内。
3 Jerusalem is built as a city that is compact together,
耶路撒冷被建造, 如同连络整齐的一座城。
4 where the tribes go up, even the LORD’s tribes, according to an ordinance for Israel, to give thanks to the LORD’s name.
众支派,就是耶和华的支派,上那里去, 按以色列的常例称赞耶和华的名。
5 For there are set thrones for judgment, the thrones of David’s house.
因为在那里设立审判的宝座, 就是大卫家的宝座。
6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Those who love you will prosper.
你们要为耶路撒冷求平安! 耶路撒冷啊,爱你的人必然兴旺!
7 Peace be within your walls, and prosperity within your palaces.
愿你城中平安! 愿你宫内兴旺!
8 For my brothers’ and companions’ sakes, I will now say, “Peace be within you.”
因我弟兄和同伴的缘故,我要说: 愿平安在你中间!
9 For the sake of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek your good.
因耶和华—我们 神殿的缘故, 我要为你求福!
