Psalm 122
HCSB Parallel NLT [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
Holman Christian Standard BibleNew Living Translation
1A Davidic song of ascents. I rejoiced with those who said to me," Let us go to the house of the LORD." 1I was glad when they said to me, “Let us go to the house of the LORD.”
2Our feet are standing within your gates, Jerusalem-- 2And now here we are, standing inside your gates, O Jerusalem.
3Jerusalem, built as a city should be, solidly joined together, 3Jerusalem is a well-built city; its seamless walls cannot be breached.
4where the tribes, Yahweh's tribes, go up to give thanks to the name of Yahweh. (This is an ordinance for Israel.) 4All the tribes of Israel—the LORD’s people— make their pilgrimage here. They come to give thanks to the name of the LORD, as the law requires of Israel.
5There, thrones for judgment are placed, thrones of the house of David. 5Here stand the thrones where judgment is given, the thrones of the dynasty of David.
6Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:" May those who love you prosper; 6Pray for peace in Jerusalem. May all who love this city prosper.
7may there be peace within your walls, prosperity within your fortresses." 7O Jerusalem, may there be peace within your walls and prosperity in your palaces.
8Because of my brothers and friends, I will say, "Peace be with you." 8For the sake of my family and friends, I will say, “May you have peace.”
9Because of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek your good. 9For the sake of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek what is best for you, O Jerusalem.
