Psalm 122 (YLT)

Young's Literal Translation

1 A Song of the Ascents, by David. I have rejoiced in those saying to me, `To the house of Jehovah we go.'

2 Our feet have been standing in thy gates, O Jerusalem!

3 Jerusalem--the builded one--<FI> Is<Fi> as a city that is joined to itself together.

4 For thither have tribes gone up, Tribes of Jah, companies of Israel, To give thanks to the name of Jehovah.

5 For there have sat thrones of judgment, Thrones of the house of David.

6 Ask ye the peace of Jerusalem, At rest are those loving thee.

7 Peace is in thy bulwark, rest in thy high places,

8 For the sake of my brethren and my companions, Let me speak, I pray thee, `Peace <FI>be<Fi> in thee.'

9 For the sake of the house of Jehovah our God, I seek good for thee!
