Psalms 122

1 A Song of Degrees. I was glad when they said to me, Let us go into 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 stood in thy courts, O Jerusalem.

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

3 Jerusalem is built as a city whose fellowship is complete.

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

4 For thither the tribes went up, the tribes of the Lord, as a testimony for Israel, to give thanks unto 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 are set thrones for judgment, [even] thrones for the house of David.

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

6 Pray now for the peace of Jerusalem: and [let there be] prosperity to them that love thee.

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

7 Let peace, I pray, be within thine host, and prosperity in thy palaces.

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

8 For the sake of my brethren and my neighbours, I have indeed spoken peace concerning thee.

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

9 Because of the house of the Lord our God, I have diligently sought thy good.

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