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.'

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 are standing within thy gates, O Jerusalem;

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

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

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

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.

For there tribes have gone up, Tribes of YAH, companies of Israel, To give thanks to the Name of YHWH.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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