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!
A Song of degrees of David.
1 I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORD.
2 Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem.
3 Jerusalem is builded as a city that is compact together:
4 Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, unto the testimony of Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the LORD.
5 For there are set thrones of judgment, the thrones of the house of David.
6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.
7 Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces.
8 For my brethren and companions’ sakes, I will now say, Peace be within thee.
9 Because of the house of the LORD our God I will seek thy good.
