< 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 degrees by David.” I was rejoiced when they said unto me, Unto the house of the Lord let us go.
2 Standing they were feet our in gates your O Jerusalem.
Our feet are now standing within thy gates, O Jerusalem!
3 Jerusalem which was built like a city that was joined together to itself together.
Jerusalem, which art built as a city wherein all associate together.
4 Where there they went up tribes [the] tribes of Yahweh a testimony to Israel to give thanks to [the] name of Yahweh.
For thither go up the tribes of the Lord, as a testimony for Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the Lord.
5 For there - they sat thrones for judgment thrones of [the] house of David.
For there are placed chairs for [giving] judgment, the chairs for the house of David.—
6 Ask for [the] peace of Jerusalem may they be at ease [those who] love you.
Pray ye for the peace of Jerusalem; may those that love thee prosper.
7 May it be peace in rampart your ease in fortresses your.
May there be peace within thy walls, prosperity within thy palaces,
8 For [the] sake of brothers my and friends my I will speak please peace [be] in you.
For the sake of my brethren and my friends, let me now speak, Peace be within thee.
9 For [the] sake of [the] house of Yahweh God our I will seek good of you.
For the sake of the house of the Lord our God, will I seek thy good.
