Psalm 122
Luther Bibel 1545
122 (Ein Lied Davids im höhern Chor.) Ich freute mich über die, so mir sagten: Laßt uns ins Haus des HERRN gehen!
2 Unsre Füße stehen in deinen Toren, Jerusalem.
3 Jerusalem ist gebaut, daß es eine Stadt sei, da man zusammenkommen soll,
4 da die Stämme hinaufgehen, die Stämme des HERRN, wie geboten ist dem Volk Israel, zu danken dem Namen des Herrn.
5 Denn daselbst sind Stühle zum Gericht, die Stühle des Hauses David.
6 Wünschet Jerusalem Glück! Es möge wohl gehen denen, die dich lieben!
7 Es möge Friede sein in deinen Mauern und Glück in deinen Palästen!
8 Um meiner Brüder und Freunde willen will ich dir Frieden wünschen.
9 Um des Hauses willen des HERRN, unsers Gottes, will ich dein Bestes suchen.
Psalm 122
Easy-to-Read Version
A song of David for going up to the Temple.
122 I was happy when the people said,
    “Let us go to the Lord’s Temple.”
2 Here we are, standing at the gates of Jerusalem.
3 This is New Jerusalem!
    The city has been rebuilt as one united city.
4 This is where the tribes come, the tribes who belong to the Lord.
    The people of Israel come here to praise the Lord’s name.
5 The kings from David’s family put their thrones here.
    They set up their thrones to judge the people.
6 Pray for peace in Jerusalem:
    “May those who love you find peace.
7 May there be peace within your walls.
    May there be safety in your great buildings.”
8 For the good of my family and neighbors,
    I pray that there will be peace here.
9 For the good of the Temple of the Lord our God,
    I pray that good things will happen to this city.
Psalm 122
New International Version
Psalm 122
A song of ascents. Of David.
1 I rejoiced with those who said to me,
    “Let us go to the house of the Lord.”
2 Our feet are standing
    in your gates, Jerusalem.
3 Jerusalem is built like a city
    that is closely compacted together.
4 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.
5 There stand the thrones for judgment,
    the thrones of the house of David.
6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:
    “May those who love(A) you be secure.
7 May there be peace(B) within your walls
    and security within your citadels.(C)”
8 For the sake of my family and friends,
    I will say, “Peace be within you.”
9 For the sake of the house of the Lord our God,
    I will seek your prosperity.(D)
