Psalms

A Song of Ascents. By David.

1I was glad when they said to me,“Let’s go to the LORD’s house!”

2Our feet are standing within your gates, Jerusalem!

3Jerusalem is built as a city that is compact together,

4where the tribes go up, even the LORD’s tribes,according to an ordinance for Israel, to give thanks to the LORD’s name.

5For there are set thrones for judgement,the thrones of David’s house.

6Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.Those who love you will prosper.

7Peace be within your walls,and prosperity within your palaces.

8For my brothers’ and companions’ sakes,I will now say, “Peace be within you.”

9For the sake of the house of the LORD our God,I will seek your good.

1Và giờ đây, Giê-ru-sa-lem hỡi,

2cửa nội thành, ta đã dừng chân.

3được xây nên một khối vẹn toàn.

4như lệnh đã truyền cho Ít-ra-en.

5ngai vàng của vương triều Đa-vít.

6rằng : “Chúc thân hữu của thành luôn thịnh đạt,

7lâu đài dinh thự mãi an ninh.”

8tôi nói rằng : “Chúc thành đô an lạc.”

9tôi ước mong thành được hạnh phúc, hỡi thành đô.
