< תהילים 122 >
שיר המעלות לדוד שמחתי באמרים לי-- בית יהוה נלך | 1 |
A Song of the going up. Of David. I was glad because they said to me, We will go into the house of the Lord.
עמדות היו רגלינו-- בשעריך ירושלם | 2 |
At last our feet were inside your doors, O Jerusalem.
ירושלם הבנויה-- כעיר שחברה-לה יחדו | 3 |
O Jerusalem, you are like a town which is well joined together;
ששם עלו שבטים שבטי-יה--עדות לישראל להדות לשם יהוה | 4 |
To which the tribes went up, even the tribes of the Lord, for a witness to Israel, to give praise to the name of the Lord.
כי שמה ישבו כסאות למשפט כסאות לבית דוד | 5 |
For there seats for the judges were placed, even the rulers' seats of the line of David.
שאלו שלום ירושלם ישליו אהביך | 6 |
O make prayers for the peace of Jerusalem; may they whose love is given to you do well.
יהי-שלום בחילך שלוה בארמנותיך | 7 |
May peace be inside your walls, and wealth in your noble houses.
למען אחי ורעי-- אדברה-נא שלום בך | 8 |
Because of my brothers and friends, I will now say, Let peace be with you.
למען בית-יהוה אלהינו-- אבקשה טוב לך | 9 |
Because of the house of the Lord our God, I will be working for your good.
