SAMACHTI B’OMRIM LI (Charles Osborne / Psalm 122:1-4, 6-9)
Transliteration from Glendalechabad.org
samachti b’omrim li, beit adonai nelech.
om’dot hayu ragleynu bish’arayich yerushalayim.
yerushalayim habenu’yah k’ir she’chub’rah lah yachdav.
sha’alu shalom yerushalayim, yishlayu o’havayich.
yehi shalom b’cheylech, shalvah b’ar’menotayich.
l’ma’an achai v’re’ai adab’rah na shalom bach.
l’ma’an beit adonai eloheinu avak’sha tov lach. | I REJOICED WHEN THEY SAID TO ME
I rejoiced when they said to me: Let us go up to the House of God
Now we stand within your gates, O Jerusalem
Jerusalem built to be a city where people come together as one
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: May those who you love prosper!
May there be peace within your walls and security within your citadels.
For the sake of my people, my friends, I pray you find peace.
For the sake of the house of Adonai our God, I will seek your good. |
