< Psalms 122 >
1 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 shall stand within your gates, O Jerusalem.
耶路撒冷啊, 我們的腳站在你的門內。
3 Jerusalem is built as a city that is compact together:
耶路撒冷被建造, 如同連絡整齊的一座城。
4 Where the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, to the testimony of 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 of judgment, the thrones of 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 for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper 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 Peace be within your walls, and prosperity within your palaces.
願你城中平安! 願你宮內興旺!
8 For my brothers and companions’ sakes, I will now say, Peace be within 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 will seek your good.
因耶和華-我們上帝殿的緣故, 我要為你求福!
