< Psalms 122 >
1 A song of ascents. Of David. I was glad when they said to me, “Let us go to the house of the LORD.”
大衛上行之詩。 人對我說:我們往耶和華的殿去, 我就歡喜。
2 Our feet are standing in your gates, O Jerusalem.
耶路撒冷啊, 我們的腳站在你的門內。
3 Jerusalem is built up as a city united together,
耶路撒冷被建造, 如同連絡整齊的一座城。
4 where the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, as a testimony for Israel, to give thanks to the name of the LORD.
眾支派,就是耶和華的支派,上那裏去, 按以色列的常例稱讚耶和華的名。
5 For there the thrones of judgment stand, the thrones of the house of David.
因為在那裏設立審判的寶座, 就是大衛家的寶座。
6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: “May those who love you prosper.
你們要為耶路撒冷求平安! 耶路撒冷啊,愛你的人必然興旺!
7 May there be peace within your walls, and prosperity inside your fortresses.”
願你城中平安! 願你宮內興旺!
8 For the sake of my brothers and friends, I will say, “Peace be within you.”
因我弟兄和同伴的緣故,我要說: 願平安在你中間!
9 For the sake of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek your prosperity.
因耶和華-我們上帝殿的緣故, 我要為你求福!
