Psalm
Psalms, 122
A Song of the Ascents. Of David.
1 I rejoiced when they were saying to me: “To the house of Jehovah let us go.”
2 Our feet proved to be standing Within your gates, O Jerusalem.
3 Jerusalem is one that is built like a city That has been joined together in oneness,
4 To which the tribes have gone up, The tribes of Jah,*1 As a reminder to Israel To give thanks to the name of Jehovah.
|
5 For there the thrones*1 for judgment have been sitting, Thrones for the house of David.
|
6 Ask, O YOU people, for the peace of Jerusalem. Those loving you,*1 [O city,] will be free from care.
|
7 May peace continue within your rampart, Freedom from care within your dwelling towers.
8 For the sake of my brothers and my companions I will now speak: “May there be peace within you.”
9 For the sake of the house of Jehovah our God I will keep seeking good for you.*1
