Psalms 122

1 A Song of Ascents; of David. I rejoiced when they said unto me: 'Let us go unto the house of the LORD.'

Jeg glædede mig ved dem, som sagde til mig: Vi ville gaa til Herrens Hus.

2 Our feet are standing within thy gates, O Jerusalem;

Vore Fødder stode i dine Porte, Jerusalem!

3 Jerusalem, that art builded as a city that is compact together;

Jerusalem, du, som er bygget op som en Stad, der er tæt sammenbygget,

4 Whither the tribes went up, even the tribes of the LORD, as a testimony unto Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the LORD.

hvorhen Stammerne droge op, Herrens Stammer efter Israels Lov, for at prise Herrens Navn.

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

Thi der var Stole satte til Dom, Stole for Davids Hus.

6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem; may they prosper that love thee.

Beder om Jerusalems Fred; Ro finde de, som elske dig.

7 Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces.

Der være Fred paa din Mur, Ro i dine Paladser!

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

For mine Brødres og mine Venners Skyld vil jeg sige: Fred være i dig!

9 For the sake of the house of the LORD our God I will seek thy good.

For Herrens vor Guds Hus's Skyld vil jeg søge dit Bedste.
