God's name is used here, so the translation should say {jegvo} or {iaves}. 
{mi} should be {mi'o} or {ma'a}, but that wouldn't scan.

The original is "`omdim hayu ragleinu bsha`areikh". In Lojban, lo jamfu sanli 
naje te sanli, and I'm not sure what to do with "inside your gates". I didn't 
even know that Hebrew had a progressive tense; I thought it was peculiar to 
Aramaic.

I can't hear {ku ku ku ku} without thinking of the birds: lenu punji le sovda 
be lo'e cipnrkuku kukuku zvati le zdani be lo'e na'e cipnrkuku kuku.

If you'd like to contribute to the Bible translation, ask Robin Lee Powell for 
a cvs account. I haven't done anything with it in a long time, and if you do, 
that'll encourage me to get back into it. The English version in the cvs is 
Douay, but don't let that bind you. Douay calls that psalm 121.
