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 人對我說：我們往耶和華的殿去， 我就歡喜。

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

2 耶路撒冷啊， 我們的腳站在你的門內。

3 Jerusalem is built up as a city united together,

3 耶路撒冷被建造， 如同連絡整齊的一座城。

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 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 the thrones of judgment stand, the thrones of the house of David.

5 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: “May those who love you prosper.

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

7 願你城中平安！ 願你宮內興旺！

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 prosperity.

9 因耶和華－我們上帝殿的緣故， 我要為你求福！
