1I was glad when they said to me, “Let’s go to Yahweh’s house!”
1(Sang til Festrejserne. Af David.) Jeg frydede mig, da de sagde til mig: "Vi drager til HERRENs Hus!"
2Our feet are standing within your gates, Jerusalem;
2Så står vore Fødder da i dine Porte, Jerusalem,
3Jerusalem, that is built as a city that is compact together;
3Jerusalem bygget som Staden, hvor Folket samles;
4where the tribes go up, even Yah’s tribes, according to an ordinance for Israel, to give thanks to the name of Yahweh.
4thi did op drager Stammerne, HERRENs Stammer en Vedtægt for Israel om at prise HERRENs Navn.
5For there are set thrones for judgment, the thrones of David’s house.
5Thi der står Dommersæder, Sæder for Davids Hus.
6Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Those who love you will prosper.
6Bed om Jerusalems Fred! Ro finde de, der elsker dig!
7Peace be within your walls, and prosperity within your palaces.
7Der råde Fred på din Mur, Tryghed i dine Borge!
8For my brothers’ and companions’ sakes, I will now say, “Peace be within you.”
8For Brødres og Frænders Skyld vil jeg ønske dig Fred,
9For the sake of the house of Yahweh our God, I will seek your good.
9for Herren vor Guds hus's skyld vil jeg søge dit bedste.
