Psalms 122

1 A song of ascents. Of David. I was glad when they said to me, “Let us go to the house of the LORD.”

1 人对我说：我们往耶和华的殿去， 我就欢喜。

2 Our feet are standing in your gates, O Jerusalem.

2 耶路撒冷啊， 我们的脚站在你的门内。

3 Jerusalem is built up as a city united together,

3 耶路撒冷被建造， 如同连络整齐的一座城。

4 where the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, as a testimony for Israel, to give thanks to the name of the LORD.

4 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 For there the thrones of judgment stand, the thrones of the house of David.

5 因为在那里设立审判的宝座， 就是大卫家的宝座。

6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: “May those who love you prosper.

6 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 May there be peace within your walls, and prosperity inside your fortresses.”

7 愿你城中平安！ 愿你宫内兴旺！

8 For the sake of my brothers and friends, I will say, “Peace be within you.”

8 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 prosperity.

9 因耶和华—我们 神殿的缘故， 我要为你求福！
