Psalm 122

A song by David for going up to worship.

I was glad when they said to me,
    “Let’s go to the house of Yahweh.”
Our feet are standing inside your gates, Jerusalem.
Jerusalem is built to be a city
    where the people are united.[a]
All of Yah’s tribes go to that city
    because it is a law in Israel
        to give thanks to the name of Yahweh.
The court of justice sits there.
    It consists of princes who are David’s descendants.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:
    “May those who love you prosper.
May there be peace inside your walls
    and prosperity in your palaces.”
For the sake of my relatives and friends, let me say,
    “May it go well for you!”
For the sake of the house of Yahweh our Elohim,
    I will seek what is good for you.

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)

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.

  1. Psalm 122:4 Or as a testimony for

Oração para que a paz de Jerusalém continue

Cântico dos degraus, de Davi

122 Alegrei-me quando me disseram: Vamos à Casa do Senhor! Os nossos pés estão dentro das tuas portas, ó Jerusalém.

Jerusalém está edificada como uma cidade bem sólida, aonde sobem as tribos, as tribos do Senhor, como testemunho de Israel, para darem graças ao nome do Senhor, pois ali estão os tronos do juízo, os tronos da casa de Davi.

Orai pela paz de Jerusalém! Prosperarão aqueles que te amam. Haja paz dentro de teus muros e prosperidade dentro dos teus palácios. Por causa dos meus irmãos e amigos, direi: haja paz em ti! Por causa da Casa do Senhor, nosso Deus, buscarei o teu bem.
