Psalm 122
American Standard Version
Prayer for the peace of Jerusalem.
A Song of Ascents; of David.
122 I was glad when they said unto me,
Let us go unto the house of Jehovah.
2 Our feet [a]are standing
Within thy gates, O Jerusalem,
3 Jerusalem, that art builded
As a city that is compact together;
4 Whither the tribes go up, even the tribes of [b]Jehovah,
For [c]an ordinance for Israel,
To give thanks unto the name of Jehovah.
5 For there [d]are set thrones for judgment,
The thrones of the house of David.
6 [e]Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:
[f]They shall prosper that love thee.
7 Peace be within thy walls,
And prosperity within thy palaces.
8 For my brethren and companions’ sakes,
I will now [g]say, Peace be within thee.
9 For the sake of the house of Jehovah our God
I will seek thy good.

Reina-Valera Antigua
122 Cántico gradual: de David. YO me alegré con los que me decían: A la casa de Jehová iremos.
2 Nuestros pies estuvieron En tus puertas, oh Jerusalem;
3 Jerusalem, que se ha edificado Como una ciudad que está bien unida entre sí.
4 Y allá subieron las tribus, las tribus de JAH, Conforme al testimonio dado á Israel, Para alabar el nombre de Jehová.
5 Porque allá están las sillas del juicio, Las sillas de la casa de David.
6 Pedid la paz de Jerusalem: Sean prosperados los que te aman.
7 Haya paz en tu antemuro, Y descanso en tus palacios.
8 Por amor de mis hermanos y mis compañeros Hablaré ahora paz de ti.
9 A causa de la casa de Jehová nuestro Dios, Buscaré bien para ti.
