Psalms 122

1 “A song of the degrees by David.” I was rejoiced when they said unto me, Unto the house of the Lord let us go.

En sang ved festreisene; av David. Jeg gleder mig ved dem som sier til mig: Vi vil gå til Herrens hus.

2 Our feet are now standing within thy gates, O Jerusalem!

Våre føtter står i dine porter, Jerusalem!

3 Jerusalem, which art built as a city wherein all associate together.

Jerusalem, du velbyggede, lik en by som er tett sammenføiet,

4 For thither go up the tribes of the Lord, as a testimony for Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the Lord.

hvor stammene drar op, Herrens stammer, efter en lov for Israel, for å prise Herrens navn!

5 For there are placed chairs for [giving] judgment, the chairs for the house of David.—

For der er stoler satt til dom, stoler for Davids hus.

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

Bed om fred for Jerusalem! La det gå dem vel som elsker dig!

7 May there be peace within thy walls, prosperity within thy palaces,

Der være fred innen din voll, ro i dine saler!

8 For the sake of my brethren and my friends, let me now speak, Peace be within thee.

For mine brødres og mine venners skyld vil jeg si: Fred være i dig!

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

For Herrens, vår Guds huses skyld vil jeg søke ditt beste.
