Psalms 122

1 A song of ascents, of David. I was glad when they said to me, “Let us go to the house of Yahweh.”

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

2 Jerusalem, our feet are standing within your gates!

Vore Fødder stode i dine Porte, Jerusalem!

3 Jerusalem, built as a city carefully planned!

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

4 The tribes go up to Jerusalem—the tribes of Yahweh— as a testimony for Israel, to give thanks to the name of Yahweh.

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

5 There thrones of judgment were set, thrones of the house of David.

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

6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem! “May those who love you have peace.

Beder om Jerusalems Fred; Ro finde de, som elske dig.

7 May there be peace within the walls that defend you, and may they have peace within your fortresses.”

Der være Fred paa din Mur, Ro i dine Paladser!

8 For the sake of my brothers and my friends I will say, “May there be peace within you.”

For mine Brødres og mine Venners Skyld vil jeg sige: Fred være i dig!

9 For the sake of the house of Yahweh our God, I will seek good for you.

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