Psalm 122
A song for those who go up to Jerusalem to worship the Lord. A psalm of David.
1I was very glad when they said to me,
“Let us go up to the house of the Lord.”
2Jerusalem, our feet are standing
inside your gates.
3Jerusalem is built like a city
where everything is close together.
4The tribes of the Lord go there to praise his name.
They do it in keeping with the law he gave to Israel.
5The thrones of the family line of David are there.
That’s where the people are judged.
6Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Say,
“May those who love you be secure.
7May there be peace inside your walls.
May your people be kept safe.”
8I’m concerned for my family and friends.
So I say to Jerusalem, “May you enjoy peace.”
9I’m concerned about the house of the Lord our God.
So I pray that things will go well with Jerusalem.
Zaburi 122
Sifa Kwa Yerusalemu
Wimbo wa kwenda juu. Wa Daudi.
1122:1 Isa 49:10; Yer 31:6; Zek 8:21Nilishangilia pamoja na wale walioniambia,
“Twende nyumbani ya Bwana.”
2Ee Yerusalemu, miguu yetu imesimama
malangoni mwako.
3122:3 2Sam 5:9; Efe 2:21Yerusalemu imejengwa vyema kama mji
ambao umeshikamanishwa pamoja.
4122:4 Kum 16:16; Kut 16:34Huko ndiko makabila hukwea,
makabila ya Bwana,
kulisifu jina la Bwana kulingana na maagizo
waliopewa Israeli.
5Huko viti vya enzi vya hukumu hukaa,
viti vya enzi vya nyumba ya Daudi.
6122:6 Za 26:8; Isa 62:6; Yer 51:50Omba kwa ajili ya amani ya Yerusalemu:
“Wote wakupendao na wawe salama.
7122:7 1Sam 25:6; Za 48:3Amani na iwepo ndani ya kuta zako
na usalama ndani ya ngome zako.”
8Kwa ajili ya ndugu zangu na marafiki,
nitasema, “Amani iwe ndani yako.”
9122:9 Za 128:5Kwa ajili ya nyumba ya Bwana Mungu wetu,
nitatafuta mafanikio yako.
