Psalms 122

1 [A Song of Ascents. By David.] I was glad when they said to me, "Let's go to YHWH's house."

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

2 Our feet are standing within your gates, Jerusalem;

Vore Fødder stode i dine Porte, Jerusalem!

3 Jerusalem, that is built as a city that is joined together;

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

4 where the tribes go up, even the tribes of JAH, according to an ordinance for Israel, to give thanks to the name of YHWH.

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

5 For there are set thrones for judgment, the thrones of David's house.

Thi der var Stole satte til Dom, Stole for Davids Hus.

6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Those who love you will prosper.

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 For the sake of the house of YHWH our God, I will seek your good.

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