< תְהִלִּים 122 >
שִׁ֥יר הַֽמַּעֲלֹ֗ות לְדָ֫וִ֥ד שָׂ֭מַחְתִּי בְּאֹמְרִ֣ים לִ֑י בֵּ֖ית יְהוָ֣ה נֵלֵֽךְ׃ | 1 |
A song of ascents. Of David. I was glad when they said to me, “Let us go to the house of the LORD.”
עֹ֭מְדֹות הָי֣וּ רַגְלֵ֑ינוּ בִּ֝שְׁעָרַ֗יִךְ יְרוּשָׁלָֽ͏ִם׃ | 2 |
Our feet are standing in your gates, O Jerusalem.
יְרוּשָׁלַ֥͏ִם הַבְּנוּיָ֑ה כְּ֝עִ֗יר שֶׁחֻבְּרָה־לָּ֥הּ יַחְדָּֽו׃ | 3 |
Jerusalem is built up as a city united together,
שֶׁשָּׁ֨ם עָל֪וּ שְׁבָטִ֡ים שִׁבְטֵי־יָ֭הּ עֵד֣וּת לְיִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל לְ֝הֹדֹ֗ות לְשֵׁ֣ם יְהוָֽה׃ | 4 |
where the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, as a testimony for Israel, to give thanks to the name of the LORD.
כִּ֤י שָׁ֨מָּה ׀ יָשְׁב֣וּ כִסְאֹ֣ות לְמִשְׁפָּ֑ט כִּ֝סְאֹ֗ות לְבֵ֣ית דָּוִֽיד׃ | 5 |
For there the thrones of judgment stand, the thrones of the house of David.
שַׁ֭אֲלוּ שְׁלֹ֣ום יְרוּשָׁלָ֑͏ִם יִ֝שְׁלָ֗יוּ אֹהֲבָֽיִךְ׃ | 6 |
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: “May those who love you prosper.
יְהִֽי־שָׁלֹ֥ום בְּחֵילֵ֑ךְ שַׁ֝לְוָ֗ה בְּאַרְמְנֹותָֽיִךְ׃ | 7 |
May there be peace within your walls, and prosperity inside your fortresses.”
לְ֭מַעַן אַחַ֣י וְרֵעָ֑י אֲדַבְּרָה־נָּ֖א שָׁלֹ֣ום בָּֽךְ׃ | 8 |
For the sake of my brothers and friends, I will say, “Peace be within you.”
לְ֭מַעַן בֵּית־יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֵ֑ינוּ אֲבַקְשָׁ֖ה טֹ֣וב לָֽךְ׃ | 9 |
For the sake of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek your prosperity.
