Cántico de los peregrinos. De David.

122 Yo me alegro cuando me dicen:
    «Vamos a la casa del Señor».
¡Jerusalén, ya nuestros pies
    se han plantado ante tus portones!

¡Jerusalén, ciudad edificada
    para que en ella todos se congreguen![a]
A ella suben las tribus,
    las tribus del Señor,
para alabar su nombre
    conforme a la ordenanza que recibió Israel.

Allí están los tribunales de justicia,
    los tribunales de la dinastía de David.

Pidamos por la paz de Jerusalén:
    «Que vivan en paz los que te aman.
Que haya paz dentro de tus murallas,
    seguridad en tus fortalezas».
Y ahora, por mis hermanos y amigos te digo:
    «¡Deseo que tengas paz!»
Por la casa del Señor nuestro Dios
    procuraré tu bienestar.

Song of Praise and Prayer for Jerusalem

A Song of Ascents. Of David.

122 I was glad when they said to me,
“Let us go to the house of the Lord!”
Our feet have been standing
    within your gates, O Jerusalem!

Jerusalem, built as a city
    which is bound firmly together,
to which the tribes go up,
    the tribes of the Lord,
as was decreed for Israel,
    to give thanks to the name of the Lord.
There thrones for judgment were set,
    the thrones of the house of David.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!
    “May they prosper who love you!
Peace be within your walls,
    and security within your towers!”
For my brethren and companions’ sake
    I will say, “Peace be within you!”
For the sake of the house of the Lord our God,
    I will seek your good.

Psalm 122

A song of ascents. Of David.

I rejoiced with those who said to me,
    “Let us go to the house of the Lord.”
Our feet are standing
    in your gates, Jerusalem.

Jerusalem is built like a city
    that is closely compacted together.
That is where the tribes go up—
    the tribes of the Lord
to praise the name of the Lord
    according to the statute given to Israel.
There stand the thrones for judgment,
    the thrones of the house of David.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:
    “May those who love(A) you be secure.
May there be peace(B) within your walls
    and security within your citadels.(C)
For the sake of my family and friends,
    I will say, “Peace be within you.”
For the sake of the house of the Lord our God,
    I will seek your prosperity.(D)
