Psalm 122
New King James Version
The Joy of Going to the House of the Lord
A Song of Ascents. Of David.
122 I was glad when they said to me,
(A)“Let us go into the house of the Lord.”
2 Our feet have been standing
Within your gates, O Jerusalem!
3 Jerusalem is built
As a city that is (B)compact together,
4 (C)Where the tribes go up,
The tribes of the Lord,
[a]To (D)the Testimony of Israel,
To give thanks to the name of the Lord.
5 (E)For thrones are set there for judgment,
The thrones of the house of David.
6 (F)Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:
“May they prosper who love you.
7 Peace be within your walls,
Prosperity within your palaces.”
8 For the sake of my brethren and companions,
I will now say, “Peace be within you.”
9 Because of the house of the Lord our God
I will (G)seek your good.

Psalm 122
Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition
122 To thee have I lifted up my eyes, who dwellest in heaven.
2 Behold as the eyes of the servants are on the hands of their masters, As the eyes of the handmaid are on the hands of her mistress: so are our eyes unto the Lord our God, until he have mercy on us.
3 Have mercy on us, O Lord, have mercy on us: for we are greatly filled with contempt.
4 For our soul is greatly filled: we are a reproach to the rich, and contempt to the proud.

Psalm 122
Glädjen över att gå till Herrens hus
1 En vallfartssång av David.
Jag blev glad när man sade till mig:
"Vi skall gå till Herrens hus."
2 Våra fötter fick träda in
i dina portar, Jerusalem,
3 Jerusalem, du välbyggda stad
där hus sluter sig till hus,
4 dit stammarna drar upp, Herrens stammar,
som ett vittnesbörd för Israel
att Herrens namn skall prisas.
5 Ty där står domarsäten,
troner för Davids hus.
6 Önska Jerusalem frid!
Må det gå dem väl som älskar dig.
7 Må frid råda inom dina murar,
välgång i dina palats.
8 För mina bröders och vänners skull
vill jag önska dig frid.
9 För Herrens, vår Guds, hus skull
vill jag söka ditt goda.
