Psalms 122

1 A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. BY DAVID. I have rejoiced in those saying to me, “We go to the house of YHWH.”

A Song of Ascents; of David. I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go unto the house of Jehovah.

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

Our feet are standing Within thy gates, O Jerusalem,

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

Jerusalem, that art builded As a city that is compact together;

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

Whither the tribes go up, even the tribes of Jehovah, [For] an ordinance for Israel, To give thanks unto the name of Jehovah.

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

For there are set thrones for judgment, The thrones of the house of David.

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

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: They shall prosper that love thee.

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

Peace be within thy walls, And prosperity within thy palaces.

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

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

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

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