Salmenes 122

1 En sang ved festreisene; av David. Jeg gleder mig ved dem som sier til mig: Vi vil gå til Herrens hus.

A Song of Degrees. I was glad when they said to me, Let us go into the house of the Lord.

2 Våre føtter står i dine porter, Jerusalem!

Our feet stood in your courts, O Jerusalem.

3 Jerusalem, du velbyggede, lik en by som er tett sammenføiet,

Jerusalem is built as a city whose fellowship is complete.

4 hvor stammene drar op, Herrens stammer, efter en lov for Israel, for å prise Herrens navn!

For there the tribes went up, the tribes of the Lord, as a testimony for Israel, to give thanks to the name of the Lord.

5 For der er stoler satt til dom, stoler for Davids hus.

For there are set thrones for judgement, [even] thrones for the house of David.

6 Bed om fred for Jerusalem! La det gå dem vel som elsker dig!

Pray now for the peace of Jerusalem: and [let there be] prosperity to them that love you.

7 Der være fred innen din voll, ro i dine saler!

Let peace, I pray, be within your host, and prosperity in your palaces.

8 For mine brødres og mine venners skyld vil jeg si: Fred være i dig!

For the sake of my brethren and my neighbours, I have indeed spoken peace concerning you.

9 For Herrens, vår Guds huses skyld vil jeg søke ditt beste.

Because of the house of the Lord our God, I have diligently sought your good.
