Psalms 122 — English–Hebrew Parallel

1 I was shamach (glad) when they amar (spoke) to me, “nalak (lets) go to Yahawah () bayath (house)!”

2 Our ragal (feet / foot) are imad (standing) within your shair (gates), Yarawashalam (Yarawashalam / Jerusalem);

3 Yarawashalam (Yarawashalam / Jerusalem), that is banah (build) as a iyar (city) that is chabar (compact) yachad (together);

4 Where the shabatayam (tribes) ilah (go up / offer) up, even Yah () shabatayam (tribes), according to an idawath (ordinance) for Yashar-Al (Israel), to give yadah (thanks) to the sham (name) of Yahawah ().

5 For there are yashab (inhabit/dwell) kasaawath (thrones) for mashapat (judgment), the kasaawath (thrones) of Dawad (David's) bayath (house).

6 Shaal (pray) for the shalawam (peace / safety) of Yarawashalam (Yarawashalam / Jerusalem). Those who ahab (love) you will shalah (prosper).

7 Shalawam (peace / safety) be within your chayal (walls), and shalawah (prosperity) within your aramawan (palaces).

8 For my ach (brother/kinsman)’ and rai (neigbor/another person)’ sakes, I will now dabar (word / matter), “shalawam (peace / safety) be within you.”

9 For the sake of the bayath (house) of Yahawah () our Alahayam (), I will baqash (seek) your tawab (good / proper function).
