< Psalms 122 >
1 [the] song of The ascents of David I rejoiced in [those who] said to me [the] house of Yahweh let us go.
A Song of the going up. Of David. I was glad because they said to me, We will go into the house of the Lord.
2 Standing they were feet our in gates your O Jerusalem.
At last our feet were inside your doors, O Jerusalem.
3 Jerusalem which was built like a city that was joined together to itself together.
O Jerusalem, you are like a town which is well joined together;
4 Where there they went up tribes [the] tribes of Yahweh a testimony to Israel to give thanks to [the] name of Yahweh.
To which the tribes went up, even the tribes of the Lord, for a witness to Israel, to give praise to the name of the Lord.
5 For there - they sat thrones for judgment thrones of [the] house of David.
For there seats for the judges were placed, even the rulers' seats of the line of David.
6 Ask for [the] peace of Jerusalem may they be at ease [those who] love you.
O make prayers for the peace of Jerusalem; may they whose love is given to you do well.
7 May it be peace in rampart your ease in fortresses your.
May peace be inside your walls, and wealth in your noble houses.
8 For [the] sake of brothers my and friends my I will speak please peace [be] in you.
Because of my brothers and friends, I will now say, Let peace be with you.
9 For [the] sake of [the] house of Yahweh God our I will seek good of you.
Because of the house of the Lord our God, I will be working for your good.
