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.”

I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of Yhwh.

2 Jerusalem, our feet are standing within your gates!

Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem.

3 Jerusalem, built as a city carefully planned!

Jerusalem is builded as a city that is compact together:

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

Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of Yah, unto the testimony of Israel, to give thanks unto the name of Yhwh.

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

For there are set thrones of judgment, the thrones of the house of David.

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

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.

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

Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces.

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

For my brethren and companions’ sakes, I will now say, Peace be within thee.

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

Because of the house of Yhwh our God I will seek thy good.
