Psalms 122

1 A song of ascents. Of David. I was glad when they said to me, ‘We will go to the house of the Lord.’

大卫上行之诗。 人对我说：我们往耶和华的殿去， 我就欢喜。

2 Now we are standing, within your gates, O Jerusalem.

耶路撒冷啊， 我们的脚站在你的门内。

3 O Jerusalem, built close-packed, like a city without breach or gap,

耶路撒冷被建造， 如同连络整齐的一座城。

4 to you do the tribes come, the tribes of the Lord, as the law has ordained for Israel, there to give thanks to the Lord.

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 There once stood thrones of justice even thrones of the household of David.

因为在那里设立审判的宝座， 就是大卫家的宝座。

6 Pray that all may be well with Jerusalem, and well with those who love you,

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 well within your ramparts, and well within your palaces.

愿你城中平安！ 愿你宫内兴旺！

8 For the sake of my brethren and friends, I will wish you now prosperity:

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！
