< Psalms 122 >

1 I rejoiced at the things that were said to me: We shall go into the house of the Lord.
我喜歡,因為有人向我說:我們要進入上主的聖殿。
2 Our feet were standing in thy courts, O Jerusalem.
耶路撒冷!我們的雙足已經站立在您的門口。
3 Jerusalem, which is built as a city, which is compact together.
耶路撒冷的建築好似京城,確是內部劃一整齊的京城。
4 For thither did the tribes go up, the tribes of the Lord: the testimony of Israel, to praise the name of the Lord.
各支派,上主的各支派都齊聚在那裡,按照以色列的法律讚頌上主的名字。
5 Because their seats have sat in judgment, seats upon the house of David.
那裡設立了執政者的座席,那裡有達味王室的寶位。
6 Pray ye for the things that are for the peace of Jerusalem: and abundance for them that love thee.
請為耶路撒冷祈禱和平;願愛慕您的人獲享安寧,
7 Let peace be in thy strength: and abundance in thy towers.
願在您的城垣內有平安,願在您的堡壘中有安全。
8 For the sake of my brethren, and of my neighbours, I spoke peace of thee.
為了我的兄弟和同伴們,我要向您說:祝您平安!
9 Because of the house of the Lord our God, I have sought good things for thee.
為了上主我們天主的殿宇,我為您懇切祈禱,祝您幸福。
