122 Revised Standard Version Passage Biblia Hebraica

122 1I was glad when they said to me,
"Let us go to the house of the LORD!"
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 the LORD, as was decreed for Israel,
to give thanks to the name of the LORD.
 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 the Lord our God,
I will seek your good.
 לְמַעַן בֵּית־יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ אֲבַקְשָׁה טֹוב לָךְ׃
