New International Version
Psalm 122
A song of ascents. Of David.
1 I rejoiced with those who said to me,
“Let us go to the house of the Lord.”
2 Our feet are standing
in your gates, Jerusalem.
3 Jerusalem is built like a city
that is closely compacted together.
4 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.
5 There stand the thrones for judgment,
the thrones of the house of David.
6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:
“May those who love(A) you be secure.
7 May there be peace(B) within your walls
and security within your citadels.(C)”
8 For the sake of my family and friends,
I will say, “Peace be within you.”
9 For the sake of the house of the Lord our God,
I will seek your prosperity.(D)

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.

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.
