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 ascents. Of David. I was glad when they said to me, ‘We will go to the house of the Lord.’

2 Standing they were feet our in gates your O Jerusalem.

Now we are standing, within your gates, O Jerusalem.

3 Jerusalem which was built like a city that was joined together to itself together.

O Jerusalem, built close-packed, like a city without breach or gap,

4 Where there they went up tribes [the] tribes of Yahweh a testimony to Israel to give thanks to [the] name of Yahweh.

to you do the tribes come, the tribes of the Lord, as the law has ordained for Israel, there to give thanks to the Lord.

5 For there - they sat thrones for judgment thrones of [the] house of David.

There once stood thrones of justice even thrones of the household of David.

6 Ask for [the] peace of Jerusalem may they be at ease [those who] love you.

Pray that all may be well with Jerusalem, and well with those who love you,

7 May it be peace in rampart your ease in fortresses your.

well within your ramparts, and well within your 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 friends, I will wish you now prosperity:

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, I will seek your good.
