Oración por la paz de Jerusalén

Cántico gradual; de David

122 Yo me alegré con los que me decían:
«¡A la casa de Jehová iremos!»
Nuestros pies estuvieron
dentro de tus puertas, Jerusalén.
Jerusalén, que ha sido edificada
como una ciudad que está bien unida entre sí.
Allá subieron las tribus,
las tribus de Jah,
conforme al testimonio dado a Israel,
para alabar el nombre de Jehová,
porque allá están las sillas del juicio,
los tronos de la casa de David.

Pedid por la paz de Jerusalén;
¡sean prosperados los que te aman!
¡Sea la paz dentro de tus muros
y el descanso dentro de tus palacios!
Por amor de mis hermanos y mis compañeros
diré yo: «¡La paz sea contigo!»
Por amor a la casa de Jehová, nuestro Dios,
buscaré tu bien.

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.
