Salme 122

1 (Sang til Festrejserne. Af David.) Jeg frydede mig, da de sagde til mig: "Vi drager til HERRENs Hus!"

A Song of Ascents; of David. I rejoiced when they said unto me: 'Let us go unto the house of the LORD.'

2 Så står vore Fødder da i dine Porte, Jerusalem,

Our feet are standing within thy gates, O Jerusalem;

3 Jerusalem bygget som Staden, hvor Folket samles;

Jerusalem, that art builded as a city that is compact together;

4 thi did op drager Stammerne, HERRENs Stammer en Vedtægt for Israel om at prise HERRENs Navn.

Whither the tribes went up, even the tribes of the LORD, as a testimony unto Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the LORD.

5 Thi der står Dommersæder, Sæder for Davids Hus.

For there were set thrones for judgment, the thrones of the house of David.

6 Bed om Jerusalems Fred! Ro finde de, der elsker dig!

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem; may they prosper that love thee.

7 Der råde Fred på din Mur, Tryghed i dine Borge!

Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces.

8 For Brødres og Frænders Skyld vil jeg ønske dig Fred,

For my brethren and companions' sakes, I will now say: 'Peace be within thee.'

9 for Herren vor Guds hus's skyld vil jeg søge dit bedste.

For the sake of the house of the LORD our God I will seek thy good.
