Psalms 122

1 A Song of Ascents; of David. I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go unto the house of the LORD.

Ɔsoroforɔ dwom. Dawid deɛ. Ɛberɛ a wɔsee me sɛ, “Ma yɛnkɔ Awurade fie” no, mʼani gyeeɛ.

2 Our feet are standing within thy gates, O Jerusalem;

Yɛgyinagyina wʼapono ano, Ao Yerusalem.

3 Jerusalem, that art builded as a city that is compact together:

Wɔakyekyere Yerusalem yie sɛ kuropɔn. Wɔahyehyɛ mu nneɛma fɛfɛ.

4 Whither the tribes go up, even the tribes of the LORD [for] a testimony unto Israel, to give thanks into the name of the LORD.

Ɛhɔ na mmusuakuo no korɔ, Awurade mmusuakuo no. Wɔkɔkamfo Awurade din sɛdeɛ nhyehyɛeɛ a wɔde ama Israel no teɛ.

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

Ɛhɔ na atemmuo nhennwa no sisi, Dawid fie nhennwa no.

6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.

Monsrɛ asomdwoeɛ mma Yerusalem sɛ, “Ma wɔn a wɔdɔ wo no nnya banbɔ.

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

Ma asomdwoeɛ mmra wʼafasuo mu na banbɔ mmra wʼabankɛsewa mu.”

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

Me nuanom ne me nnamfonom enti, meka sɛ, “Asomdwoeɛ ntena wo mu.”

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

Awurade yɛn Onyankopɔn fie enti, mɛhwehwɛ wo nkɔsoɔ.
