| Chapter 122 |
1 |
A Song of the Ascents, by David. I have rejoiced in those saying to me, `To the house of Yehovah we go.` |
2 |
Our feet have been standing in thy gates, O Jerusalem! |
3 |
Jerusalem -- the builded one -- Is as a city that is joined to itself together. |
4 |
For thither have tribes gone up, Tribes of Jah, companies of Israel, To give thanks to the name of Yehovah. |
5 |
For there have sat thrones of judgment, Thrones of the house of David. |
6 |
Ask ye the peace of Jerusalem, At rest are those loving thee. |
7 |
Peace is in thy bulwark, rest in thy high places, |
8 |
For the sake of my brethren and my companions, Let me speak, I pray thee, `Peace be in thee.` |
9 |
For the sake of the house of Yehovah our God, I seek good for thee! |
