< 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.”
2 Our feet have been standing in your gates, O Jerusalem!
3 Jerusalem—the built one—[Is] as a city that is joined to itself together.
4 For there tribes have gone up, Tribes of YAH, companies of Israel, To give thanks to the Name of YHWH.
5 For there thrones of judgment have sat, Thrones of the house of David.
6 Ask [for] the peace of Jerusalem, Those loving you are at rest.
7 Peace is in your bulwark, rest in your high places,
8 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 our God YHWH, I seek good for you!
