Psalms Chapter 122 登圣殿歌，达味作。我喜欢，因为有人向我说：我们要进入上主的圣殿！ 2 And now our feet are standing within your gates, Jerusalem. 3 2 Jerusalem, built as a city, walled round about. 4 Here the tribes have come, the tribes of the LORD, As it was decreed for Israel, to give thanks to the name of the LORD. 5 Here are the thrones of justice, the thrones of the house of David. 那里设立了执政的座席，那里有达味王室的宝位。 6 For the peace of Jerusalem pray: ＂May those who love you prosper! 7 May peace be within your ramparts, prosperity within your towers.＂ 愿在你的城垣内有平安，愿在你的堡垒中有安全！ 8 For family and friends I say, ＂May peace be yours.＂ 9 For the house of the LORD, our God, I pray, ＂May blessings be yours.＂ 为了上主我们天主的殿宇，我为你恳切祈祷，祝你幸福。 Footnotes（注解） 1 [Psalm 122] A song of Zion, sung by pilgrims obeying the law to visit Jerusalem three times on a journey. The singer anticipates joining the procession into the city (Psalm 122:1-3). Jerusalem is a place of encounter, where the people praise God (Psalm 122:4) and hear the divine justice mediated by the king (Psalm 112:5). The very buildings bespeak God's power (cf Psalm 48:13-15). May the grace of this place transform the people's lives (Psalm 112:6-9)! 2 [3] Walled round about: literally, ＂which is joined to it,＂ probably referring both to the density of the buildings and to the dense population |
