Psalms 122

1 I rejoiced at the things that were said to me: We shall go into the house of the Lord.

大卫上行之诗。 人对我说：我们往耶和华的殿去， 我就欢喜。

2 Our feet were standing in thy courts, O Jerusalem.

耶路撒冷啊， 我们的脚站在你的门内。

3 Jerusalem, which is built as a city, which is compact together.

耶路撒冷被建造， 如同连络整齐的一座城。

4 For thither did the tribes go up, the tribes of the Lord: the testimony of Israel, to praise the name of the Lord.

众支派，就是耶和华的支派，上那里去， 按以色列的常例称赞耶和华的名。

5 Because their seats have sat in judgment, seats upon the house of David.

因为在那里设立审判的宝座， 就是大卫家的宝座。

6 Pray ye for the things that are for the peace of Jerusalem: and abundance for them that love thee.

你们要为耶路撒冷求平安！ 耶路撒冷啊，爱你的人必然兴旺！

7 Let peace be in thy strength: and abundance in thy towers.

愿你城中平安！ 愿你宫内兴旺！

8 For the sake of my brethren, and of my neighbours, I spoke peace of thee.

因我弟兄和同伴的缘故，我要说： 愿平安在你中间！

9 Because of the house of the Lord our God, I have sought good things for thee.

因耶和华—我们 神殿的缘故， 我要为你求福！
