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.”

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 in your gates, O Jerusalem.

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

3 Jerusalem is built up as a city united together,

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

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.

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

5 For there the thrones of judgment stand, 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: “May those who love you prosper.

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

7 May there be peace within your walls, and prosperity inside your fortresses.”

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

8 For the sake of my brothers and friends, I will say, “Peace be within you.”

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 the LORD our God, I will seek your prosperity.

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