< Psalms 122 >
1 A Song of Degrees. I was glad when they said to me, Let us go into 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 stood in your courts, O Jerusalem.
耶路撒冷啊, 我們的腳站在你的門內。
3 Jerusalem is built as a city whose fellowship is complete.
耶路撒冷被建造, 如同連絡整齊的一座城。
4 For there the tribes went 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 are set thrones for judgement, [even] thrones for 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 now for the peace of Jerusalem: and [let there be] prosperity to them that love you.
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 Let peace, I pray, be within your host, and prosperity in your palaces.
願你城中平安! 願你宮內興旺!
8 For the sake of my brethren and my neighbours, I have indeed spoken peace concerning you.
因我弟兄和同伴的緣故,我要說: 願平安在你中間!
9 Because of the house of the Lord our God, I have diligently sought your good.
因耶和華-我們上帝殿的緣故, 我要為你求福!
