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!”

大衛上行之詩。 人對我說：我們往耶和華的殿去， 我就歡喜。

2 Our feet are standing within your gates, Jerusalem!

耶路撒冷啊， 我們的腳站在你的門內。

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

耶路撒冷被建造， 如同連絡整齊的一座城。

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.

眾支派，就是耶和華的支派，上那裏去， 按以色列的常例稱讚耶和華的名。

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

因為在那裏設立審判的寶座， 就是大衛家的寶座。

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

你們要為耶路撒冷求平安！ 耶路撒冷啊，愛你的人必然興旺！

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

願你城中平安！ 願你宮內興旺！

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

因我弟兄和同伴的緣故，我要說： 願平安在你中間！

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

因耶和華－我們上帝殿的緣故， 我要為你求福！
