Psalm 122

Ein Wallfahrtslied. Von David.

Ich freue mich an denen, die zu mir
sagen:
Lasst uns zum Haus des Herrn gehen!

Nun stehen unsere Füße
in deinen Toren, Jerusalem!

Jerusalem, du bist gebaut
als eine fest gefügte Stadt,

wohin die Stämme hinaufziehen,
die Stämme des Herrn
— ein Zeugnis für Israel —,
um zu preisen den Namen des Herrn!

Denn dort sind Throne zum Gericht aufgestellt,
die Throne des Hauses David.

Bittet für den Frieden Jerusalems!
Es soll denen wohlgehen, die dich lieben!

Friede sei in deinen Mauern
und sichere Ruhe in deinen Palästen!

Um meiner Brüder und Freunde willen
sage ich: Friede sei in dir!

Um des Hauses des Herrn, unsres Gottes, willen
will ich dein Bestes suchen!

122 I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the Lord.

Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem.

Jerusalem is builded as a city that is compact together:

Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of the Lord, unto the testimony of Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the Lord.

For there are set thrones of judgment, the thrones of the house of David.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.

Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces.

For my brethren and companions' sakes, I will now say, Peace be within thee.

Because of the house of the Lord our God I will seek thy good.

Let Us Go to the House of the Lord

A Song of (A)Ascents. Of David.

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

Jerusalem—(C)built as a city
    that is (D)bound firmly together,
to which the tribes (E)go up,
    the tribes of the Lord,
as was (F)decreed for[a] Israel,
    to give thanks to the name of the Lord.
There (G)thrones for judgment were set,
    the thrones of the house of David.

(H)Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!
    “May they be secure who love you!
Peace be within your (I)walls
    and security within your (J)towers!”
For my brothers and companions' sake
    I will say, (K)“Peace be within you!”
For the sake of the house of the Lord our God,
    I will (L)seek your good.
