Psalms 122

1 I was glad when they said to me, Let us go into the house of the LORD.

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

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

Vore Fødder stode i dine Porte, Jerusalem!

3 Jerusalem is built as a city that is compact together:

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

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.

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

5 For there are set thrones of 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: they shall prosper that love you.

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

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

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

8 For my brothers and companions’ sakes, I will now say, Peace be within you.

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

9 Because of the house of the LORD our God I will seek your good.

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