Psalm 122
A Prayer for Jerusalem
A song of ascents. Of David.
1 I rejoiced with those who said to me,
“Let’s go to the house of the Lord.”(A)
2 Our feet were standing
within your gates, Jerusalem(B)—
3 Jerusalem, built as a city should be,
solidly united,(C)
4 where the tribes, the Lord’s tribes, go up
to give thanks to the name of the Lord.(D)
(This is an ordinance for Israel.(E))
5 There, thrones for judgment are placed,
thrones of the house of David.(F)
6 Pray for the well-being[a] of Jerusalem:
“May those who love you be secure;(G)
7 may there be peace within your walls,
security within your fortresses.”(H)
8 Because of my brothers and friends,
I will say, “May peace be in you.”[b](I)
9 Because of the house of the Lord our God,
I will pursue your prosperity.(J)

Glädjen i att gå till Herrens hus
122 [a]En pilgrimssång av David.
Jag gladdes när man sade till mig:
"Vi ska gå till Herrens hus."
2 Våra fötter står
i dina portar, Jerusalem.
3 [b]Jerusalem, du välbyggda stad
som tätt sluter sig samman!
4 [c]Dit drar stammarna upp,
Herrens stammar,
som ett vittnesbörd för Israel
att prisa Herrens namn.
5 [d]Där står domarsäten,
troner för Davids hus.
6 Be om frid för Jerusalem!
Låt dem som älskar dig vara trygga.
7 Låt det råda frid inom dina murar,
trygghet i dina borgar.
8 För mina bröders och vänners skull
vill jag önska dig frid,
9 för Herren vår Guds hus skull
vill jag söka ditt bästa.

Psalm 122
King James Version
122 I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the Lord.
2 Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem.
3 Jerusalem is builded as a city that is compact together:
4 Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of the Lord, unto the testimony of Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the Lord.
5 For there are set thrones of judgment, the thrones of the house of David.
6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.
7 Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces.
8 For my brethren and companions' sakes, I will now say, Peace be within thee.
9 Because of the house of the Lord our God I will seek thy good.
