Psalms 122

1 A Song of Ascents. By David. I was glad when they said to me, “Let’s go to the LORD’s house!”

大卫上行之诗。 人对我说：我们往耶和华的殿去， 我就欢喜。

2 Our feet are standing within your gates, Jerusalem!

耶路撒冷啊， 我们的脚站在你的门内。

3 Jerusalem is built as a city that is compact together,

耶路撒冷被建造， 如同连络整齐的一座城。

4 where the tribes go up, even the LORD’s tribes, according to an ordinance for Israel, to give thanks to the LORD’s name.

众支派，就是耶和华的支派，上那里去， 按以色列的常例称赞耶和华的名。

5 For there are set thrones for judgement, the thrones of David’s house.

因为在那里设立审判的宝座， 就是大卫家的宝座。

6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Those who love you will prosper.

你们要为耶路撒冷求平安！ 耶路撒冷啊，爱你的人必然兴旺！

7 Peace be within your walls, and prosperity within your palaces.

愿你城中平安！ 愿你宫内兴旺！

8 For my brothers’ and companions’ sakes, I will now say, “Peace be within you.”

因我弟兄和同伴的缘故，我要说： 愿平安在你中间！

9 For the sake of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek your good.

因耶和华—我们 神殿的缘故， 我要为你求福！
