Psalms 122
Superscription
A pilgrim song for the peace of Jerusalem
שָׂמַחְתִּי בְּאֹמְרִים לִי בֵּית יְהוָה נֵלֵֽךְ׃
I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORD.
עֹמְדוֹת הָיוּ רַגְלֵינוּ בִּשְׁעָרַיִךְ יְרוּשָׁלִָֽם׃
Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem.
יְרוּשָׁלִַם הַבְּנוּיָה כְּעִיר שֶׁחֻבְּרָה-לָּהּ יַחְדָּֽו׃
Jerusalem is builded as a city that is compact together:
שֶׁשָּׁם עָלוּ שְׁבָטִים שִׁבְטֵי-יָהּ עֵדוּת לְיִשְׂרָאֵל לְהֹדוֹת לְשֵׁם יְהוָֽה׃
Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, unto the testimony of Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the LORD.
כִּי שָׁמָּה׀ יָשְׁבוּ כִסְאוֹת לְמִשְׁפָּט כִּסְאוֹת לְבֵית דָּוִֽד׃
For there are set thrones of judgment, the thrones of the house of David.
שַׁאֲלוּ שְׁלוֹם יְרוּשָׁלִָם יִשְׁלָיוּ אֹהֲבָֽיִךְ׃
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.
יְהִֽי-שָׁלוֹם בְּחֵילֵךְ שַׁלְוָה בְּאַרְמְנוֹתָֽיִךְ׃
Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces.
לְמַעַן אַחַי וְרֵעָי אֲדַבְּרָה-נָּא שָׁלוֹם בָּֽךְ׃
For my brethren and companions' sakes, I will now say, Peace be within thee.
לְמַעַן בֵּית-יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ אֲבַקְשָׁה טוֹב לָֽךְ׃
Because of the house of the LORD our God I will seek thy good.
