(A song by David for worship.)
A Song of Praise
1 It made me glad when they said,
“Let's go to the house
of the Lord!”
2 Jerusalem, we are standing
inside your gates.
3 Jerusalem, what a strong
and beautiful city you are!
4 Every tribe of the Lord
obeys him and comes to you
to praise his name.
5 David's royal throne is here
where justice rules.
6 Jerusalem, we pray
that you will have peace,
and that all will go well
for those who love you.
7 May there be peace
inside your city walls
and in your palaces.
8 Because of my friends
and my relatives,
I will pray for peace.
9 And because of the house
of the Lord our God,
I will work for your good.
Lūgšana par Jeruzālemi
1 Dāvida augšupceļa dziesma.
Nopriecājos, kad tie man teica:
ejam uz Kunga namu! –
2 Nu mūsu kājas stāv tavos vārtos, Jeruzāleme!
3 Jeruzāleme, pilsēta, kā tu uzcelta –
itin kā sasieta visa kopā!
4 Ciltis tur augšā kāpj, Kunga ciltis,
kā pavēlēts Israēlam: slavēt Kunga vārdu.
5 Tur arīdzan nolikti tiesas sēdekļi,
Dāvida nama sēdekļi!
6 Lūdziet Jeruzālemei mieru:
lai tie ir rimti, kas mīl tevi,
7 lai valda miers tavos vaļņos,
rimums tavās pilīs! –
8 Manu brāļu un draugu dēļ sacīšu: miers tev! –
9 Kunga, mūsu Dieva, nama dēļ
gādāšu par tevi!
