为耶路撒冷祷告

大卫上圣殿朝圣之诗。

122 人们对我说:
“让我们去耶和华的殿吧!”
我感到欢喜。
耶路撒冷啊,
我们踏进你的城门了。
耶路撒冷是一座整齐坚固的城。
以色列各支派,耶和华的子民,
都遵照祂赐的法度去那里称谢祂。
那里有审判的王座,
就是大卫家的王座。
要为耶路撒冷的和平祷告,
愿爱这城的人亨通。
耶路撒冷啊!
愿你城内有平安,
你的宫里有安宁,
为了我的亲人和朋友,
我要祈求平安临到你。
为了我们的上帝耶和华的殿,
我要为你求福祉。

Psalm 122

A pilgrimage song. Of David.

122 I rejoiced with those who said to me,
    “Let’s go to the Lord’s house!”
Now our feet are standing
    in your gates, Jerusalem!

Jerusalem is built like a city
    joined together in unity.
That is where the tribes go up—
    the Lord’s tribes!
It is the law for Israel
    to give thanks there to the Lord’s name,
    because the thrones of justice are there—
    the thrones of the house of David!

Pray that Jerusalem has peace:
    “Let those who love you have rest.
    Let there be peace on your walls;
    let there be rest on your fortifications.”
For the sake of my family and friends,
    I say, “Peace be with you, Jerusalem.”
For the sake of the Lord our God’s house
    I will pray for your good.
