Fred för Jerusalem

122 Jag blev glad när man sa till mig: Kom, så går vi till Herrens tempel.

Och nu är vi här. Vi har gått in genom Jerusalems portar.

Jerusalem, du sköna, nyuppförda stad.

Hela Israel, ja, hela Herrens folk, har kommit för att tillbe som lagen säger, för att tacka och för att prisa Herren.

Jerusalem, över dig regerar Davids kungahus.

Be om fred för Jerusalem! Låt det gå väl för alla som älskar dig.

Innanför dina murar ska friden härska och tryggheten ska finnas i dina palats.

Jag ber om detta för alla mina bröders skull och för alla mina vänner som bor där.

Må det också bli fred för Herrens tempels skull!

Prayer for the Peace of Jerusalem.

A Song of [a]Ascents. Of David.

122 I was glad when they said to me,
“Let us go to the house of the Lord.”(A)

Our feet are standing
Within your gates, O Jerusalem,

Jerusalem, that is built
As a city that is firmly joined together;

To which the [twelve] tribes go up, even the tribes of the Lord,
[As was decreed as] an ordinance for Israel,
To give thanks to the name of the Lord.

For there the thrones of judgment were set,
The thrones of the house of David.


Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:
“May they prosper who love you [holy city].

“May peace be within your walls
And prosperity within your palaces.”

For the sake of my brothers and my friends,
I will now say, “May peace be within you.”

For the sake of the house of the Lord our God [which is Jerusalem],
I will seek your (the city’s) good.

The Joy of Going to the House of the Lord

A Song of Ascents. Of David.

122 I was glad when they said to me,
(A)“Let us go into the house of the Lord.”
Our feet have been standing
Within your gates, O Jerusalem!

Jerusalem is built
As a city that is (B)compact together,
(C)Where the tribes go up,
The tribes of the Lord,
[a]To (D)the Testimony of Israel,
To give thanks to the name of the Lord.
(E)For thrones are set there for judgment,
The thrones of the house of David.

(F)Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:
“May they prosper who love you.
Peace be within your walls,
Prosperity within your palaces.”
For the sake of my brethren and companions,
I will now say, “Peace be within you.”
Because of the house of the Lord our God
I will (G)seek your good.

  1. Psalm 122:4 Or As a testimony to

Psalm 122

A song of ascents. Of David.

I rejoiced with those who said to me,
    “Let us go to the house of the Lord.”
Our feet are standing
    in your gates, Jerusalem.

Jerusalem is built like a city
    that is closely compacted together.
That is where the tribes go up—
    the tribes of the Lord
to praise the name of the Lord
    according to the statute given to Israel.
There stand the thrones for judgment,
    the thrones of the house of David.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:
    “May those who love(A) you be secure.
May there be peace(B) within your walls
    and security within your citadels.(C)
For the sake of my family and friends,
    I will say, “Peace be within you.”
For the sake of the house of the Lord our God,
    I will seek your prosperity.(D)
