Psalms 122

1 A Song of Ascents. By David. I was glad when they said to me, “Let’s go to the LORD’s house!”

我喜歡，因為有人向我說：我們要進入上主的聖殿。

2 Our feet are standing within your gates, Jerusalem!

耶路撒冷！我們的雙足已經站立在您的門口。

3 Jerusalem is built as a city that is compact together,

耶路撒冷的建築好似京城，確是內部劃一整齊的京城。

4 where the tribes go up, even the LORD’s tribes, according to an ordinance for Israel, to give thanks to the LORD’s name.

各支派，上主的各支派都齊聚在那裡，按照以色列的法律讚頌上主的名字。

5 For there are set thrones for judgement, the thrones of David’s house.

那裡設立了執政者的座席，那裡有達味王室的寶位。

6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Those who love you will prosper.

請為耶路撒冷祈禱和平；願愛慕您的人獲享安寧，

7 Peace be within your walls, and prosperity within your palaces.

願在您的城垣內有平安，願在您的堡壘中有安全。

8 For my brothers’ and companions’ sakes, I will now say, “Peace be within you.”

為了我的兄弟和同伴們，我要向您說：祝您平安！

9 For the sake of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek your good.

為了上主我們天主的殿宇，我為您懇切祈禱，祝您幸福。
