< Salmenes 122 >
1 En sang ved festreisene; av David. Jeg gleder mig ved dem som sier til mig: Vi vil gå til Herrens hus.
“A psalm of the steps, or the goings up. By David.” I was glad when they said to me, Let us go up to the house of the LORD!
2 Våre føtter står i dine porter, Jerusalem!
Our feet are standing Within thy gates, O Jerusalem!
3 Jerusalem, du velbyggede, lik en by som er tett sammenføiet,
Jerusalem, the rebuilt city! The city that is joined together!
4 hvor stammene drar op, Herrens stammer, efter en lov for Israel, for å prise Herrens navn!
Thither the tribes go up, The tribes of the LORD, according to the law of Israel, To praise the name of the LORD.
5 For der er stoler satt til dom, stoler for Davids hus.
There stand the thrones of judgment, The thrones of the house of David.
6 Bed om fred for Jerusalem! La det gå dem vel som elsker dig!
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem! May they prosper who love thee!
7 Der være fred innen din voll, ro i dine saler!
Peace be within thy walls, And prosperity within thy palaces!
8 For mine brødres og mine venners skyld vil jeg si: Fred være i dig!
For my brethren and companions' sake will I say, Peace be within thee!
9 For Herrens, vår Guds huses skyld vil jeg søke ditt beste.
For the sake of the house of the LORD, our God, Will I seek thy good!
