Psalms 122

1 I was glad/happy when people said to me, “We should go to the temple of Yahweh [in Jerusalem]!”

[the] song of The ascents of David I rejoiced in [those who] said to me [the] house of Yahweh let us go.

2 And now we are here, standing inside the gates/city of [APO] Jerusalem.

Standing they were feet our in gates your O Jerusalem.

3 Jerusalem is a city that has been rebuilt, with the result that people can gather together in it.

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

4 We [people of the] tribes of Israel who belong to Yahweh can now go up there as Yahweh commanded that we should do, and we can thank him.

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

5 There the kings of Israel who were descendants of [King] David sit on their thrones and decide cases [fairly when the people have disputes].

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

6 Pray that there will be peace in Jerusalem; I desire that those who love Jerusalem will (prosper/live peacefully).

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

7 I desire that there will be peace inside the walls of the city and that [people who are] inside the palaces will be safe.

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

8 For the sake of my relatives and friends, I say, “My desire is that that inside Jerusalem [people will live] peacefully.”

For [the] sake of brothers my and friends my I will speak please peace [be] in you.

9 And because I love the temple of Yahweh our God, I pray that things will go well for the people who live [in Jerusalem].

For [the] sake of [the] house of Yahweh God our I will seek good of you.
