< תְהִלִּים 122 >
שִׁ֥יר הַֽמַּעֲלֹ֗ות לְדָ֫וִ֥ד שָׂ֭מַחְתִּי בְּאֹמְרִ֣ים לִ֑י בֵּ֖ית יְהוָ֣ה נֵלֵֽךְ׃ | 1 |
A Song of the Ascents, by David. I have rejoiced in those saying to me, 'To the house of Jehovah we go.'
עֹ֭מְדֹות הָי֣וּ רַגְלֵ֑ינוּ בִּ֝שְׁעָרַ֗יִךְ יְרוּשָׁלָֽ͏ִם׃ | 2 |
Our feet have been standing in thy gates, O Jerusalem!
יְרוּשָׁלַ֥͏ִם הַבְּנוּיָ֑ה כְּ֝עִ֗יר שֶׁחֻבְּרָה־לָּ֥הּ יַחְדָּֽו׃ | 3 |
Jerusalem — the builded one — [Is] as a city that is joined to itself together.
שֶׁשָּׁ֨ם עָל֪וּ שְׁבָטִ֡ים שִׁבְטֵי־יָ֭הּ עֵד֣וּת לְיִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל לְ֝הֹדֹ֗ות לְשֵׁ֣ם יְהוָֽה׃ | 4 |
For thither have tribes gone up, Tribes of Jah, companies of Israel, To give thanks to the name of Jehovah.
כִּ֤י שָׁ֨מָּה ׀ יָשְׁב֣וּ כִסְאֹ֣ות לְמִשְׁפָּ֑ט כִּ֝סְאֹ֗ות לְבֵ֣ית דָּוִֽיד׃ | 5 |
For there have sat thrones of judgment, Thrones of the house of David.
שַׁ֭אֲלוּ שְׁלֹ֣ום יְרוּשָׁלָ֑͏ִם יִ֝שְׁלָ֗יוּ אֹהֲבָֽיִךְ׃ | 6 |
Ask ye the peace of Jerusalem, At rest are those loving thee.
יְהִֽי־שָׁלֹ֥ום בְּחֵילֵ֑ךְ שַׁ֝לְוָ֗ה בְּאַרְמְנֹותָֽיִךְ׃ | 7 |
Peace is in thy bulwark, rest in thy high places,
לְ֭מַעַן אַחַ֣י וְרֵעָ֑י אֲדַבְּרָה־נָּ֖א שָׁלֹ֣ום בָּֽךְ׃ | 8 |
For the sake of my brethren and my companions, Let me speak, I pray thee, 'Peace [be] in thee.'
לְ֭מַעַן בֵּית־יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֵ֑ינוּ אֲבַקְשָׁ֖ה טֹ֣וב לָֽךְ׃ | 9 |
For the sake of the house of Jehovah our God, I seek good for thee!
