Psalms 122

1 I rejoiced at the things that were said to me: We shall go into the house of the Lord.

Cántico gradual. De David. Me llené de gozo cuando me dijeron: “Iremos a la Casa de Yahvé.”

2 Our feet were standing in thy courts, O Jerusalem.

Ya se posan nuestros pies ante tus puertas, ¡oh Jerusalén!

3 Jerusalem, which is built as a city, which is compact together.

Jerusalén, que estás edificada, como la ciudad cuya comunidad le está bien unida.

4 For thither did the tribes go up, the tribes of the Lord: the testimony of Israel, to praise the name of the Lord.

Allá suben las tribus, las tribus de Yah; es ley para Israel celebrar allí el Nombre de Yahvé.

5 Because their seats have sat in judgment, seats upon the house of David.

Allí se han establecido los tronos para el juicio, los tronos de la casa de David.

6 Pray ye for the things that are for the peace of Jerusalem: and abundance for them that love thee.

Saludad a Jerusalén: “Gocen de seguridad los que te aman;

7 Let peace be in thy strength: and abundance in thy towers.

reine la paz dentro de tus muros, la felicidad en tus palacios.”

8 For the sake of my brethren, and of my neighbours, I spoke peace of thee.

Por amor a mis hermanos y amigos exclamo: Paz sobre ti.

9 Because of the house of the Lord our God, I have sought good things for thee.

A causa del Templo de Yahvé nuestro Dios te auguro todo bien.
