| Chapter 122 |
1 |
A Song of the Ascents, by David. I have rejoiced in those saying to me, 'To the house of Jehovah 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 Jehovah.
|
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 Jehovah our God, I seek good for thee!
