Psalm 122
Names of God Bible
Psalm 122
A song by David for going up to worship.
1 I was glad when they said to me,
“Let’s go to the house of Yahweh.”
2 Our feet are standing inside your gates, Jerusalem.
3 Jerusalem is built to be a city
where the people are united.[a]
4 All of Yah’s tribes go to that city
because it is a law in Israel
to give thanks to the name of Yahweh.
5 The court of justice sits there.
It consists of princes who are David’s descendants.
6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:
“May those who love you prosper.
7 May there be peace inside your walls
and prosperity in your palaces.”
8 For the sake of my relatives and friends, let me say,
“May it go well for you!”
9 For the sake of the house of Yahweh our Elohim,
I will seek what is good for you.

Oração para que a paz de Jerusalém continue
Cântico dos degraus, de Davi
122 Alegrei-me quando me disseram: Vamos à Casa do Senhor! 2 Os nossos pés estão dentro das tuas portas, ó Jerusalém.
3 Jerusalém está edificada como uma cidade bem sólida, 4 aonde sobem as tribos, as tribos do Senhor, como testemunho de Israel, para darem graças ao nome do Senhor, 5 pois ali estão os tronos do juízo, os tronos da casa de Davi.
6 Orai pela paz de Jerusalém! Prosperarão aqueles que te amam. 7 Haja paz dentro de teus muros e prosperidade dentro dos teus palácios. 8 Por causa dos meus irmãos e amigos, direi: haja paz em ti! 9 Por causa da Casa do Senhor, nosso Deus, buscarei o teu bem.
