Psalms 122

1 A Song of degrees. Of David. I rejoiced when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of Jehovah.

Bil sem vesel, ko so mi rekli: »Pojdimo v Gospodovo hišo.«

2 Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem.

Naša stopala bodo stala znotraj tvojih velikih vrat, oh Jeruzalem.

3 Jerusalem, which art built as a city that is compact together,

Jeruzalem je zgrajen kakor mesto, ki je stisnjeno skupaj,

4 Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of Jah, a testimony to Israel, to give thanks unto the name of Jehovah.

kamor se vzpenjajo rodovi, Gospodovi rodovi, v pričevanje Izraelu, da dajejo zahvalo Gospodovemu imenu.

5 For there are set thrones for judgment, the thrones of the house of David.

Kajti tam so postavljeni sodni prestoli, prestoli Davidove hiše.

6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.

Mólite za mir v Jeruzalemu. Tisti, ki te ljubijo, bodo uspevali.

7 Peace be within thy bulwarks, prosperity within thy palaces.

Mir bodi znotraj tvojih zidov in uspevanje v tvojih palačah.

8 For my brethren and companions' sakes I will say, Peace be within thee!

Zaradi mojih bratov in zaradi družabnikov bom torej rekel: »Mir bodi znotraj tebe.«

9 Because of the house of Jehovah our God I will seek thy good.

Zaradi hiše Gospoda, našega Boga, bom iskal tvoje dobro.
