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.”

A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. BY DAVID. I have rejoiced in those saying to me, “We go to the house of YHWH.”

2 Jerusalem, our feet are standing within your gates!

Our feet have been standing in your gates, O Jerusalem!

3 Jerusalem, built as a city carefully planned!

Jerusalem—the built one—[Is] as a city that is joined to itself 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.

For there tribes have gone up, Tribes of YAH, companies of Israel, To give thanks to the Name of YHWH.

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

For there thrones of judgment have sat, Thrones of the house of David.

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

Ask [for] the peace of Jerusalem, Those loving you are at rest.

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

Peace is in your bulwark, rest in your high places,

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

For the sake of my brothers and my companions, Please let me speak, “Peace [be] in you.”

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

For the sake of the house of our God YHWH, I seek good for you!
