122 katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE Passage Biblia Hebraica

122 1I was glad when they said to me,
"Let us go to the house of Yahweh!"
In Praise of Jerusalem. Psalm 122(v121)שָׂמַחְתִּי בְּאֹמְרִים לִי בֵּית יְהוָה נֵלֵךְ׃
2Our feet have been standing within your gates, O Jerusalem!  עֹמְדֹות הָיוּ רַגְלֵינוּ בִּשְׁעָרַיִךְ יְרוּשָׁלִָם׃
3Jerusalem, built as a city
which is bound firmly together,
 יְרוּשָׁלִַם הַבְּנוּיָה כְּעִיר שֶׁחֻבְּרָה־לָּהּ יַחְדָּו׃
4to which the tribes go up,
the tribes of Yahweh, as was decreed for Israel,
to give thanks to the name of Yahweh.
 שֶׁשָּׁם עָלוּ שְׁבָטִים שִׁבְטֵי־יָהּ עֵדוּת לְיִשְׂרָאֵל לְהֹדֹות לְשֵׁם יְהוָה׃
5There thrones for judgment were set,
the thrones of the house of David.
 כִּי שָׁמָּה יָשְׁבוּ כִסְאֹות לְמִשְׁפָּט כִּסְאֹות לְבֵית דָּוִיד׃
6Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!
"May they prosper who love you!
 שַׁאֲלוּ שְׁלֹום יְרוּשָׁלִָם יִשְׁלָיוּ אֹהֲבָיִךְ׃
7Peace be within your walls,
and security within your towers!"
 יְהִי־שָׁלֹום בְּחֵילֵךְ שַׁלְוָה בְּאַרְמְנֹותָיִךְ׃
8For my brethren and companions' sake I will say,
"Peace be within you!"
 לְמַעַן אַחַי וְרֵעָי אֲדַבְּרָה־נָּא שָׁלֹום בָּךְ׃
9For the sake of the house of Yahweh our God,
I will seek your good.
 לְמַעַן בֵּית־יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ אֲבַקְשָׁה טֹוב לָךְ׃

Notes: This page displays passages from the katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE.
The katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE is a very light revision of the RSV. The changes are: (1) In places where 'the LORD', 'O LORD' occurs in the RSV, (it represents the tetragrammaton - YHWH - which is in the hebrew text), I have used the name 'Yahweh'.
(2) I have removed the quotation marks and hyphens that were used in so many names in the RSV as an aid to correct pronunciation. This now brings it in line with all other English versions, and makes any word-search more accurate.
(3) I have changed all (I hope!) of the RSV archaic language sections to modern.

The katapi New Study Bible reference section displays links to parallel passages, and to direct quotations by New Testament authors to Old Testament passages. Quotations of OT passages by NT authors can in most cases be viewed within their context of the OT passage as a whole, with the quoted text displayed, against a subdued background.
