122 I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the Lord.

Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem.

Jerusalem is builded as a city that is compact together:

Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of the Lord, unto the testimony of Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the Lord.

For there are set thrones of judgment, the thrones of the house of David.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.

Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces.

For my brethren and companions' sakes, I will now say, Peace be within thee.

Because of the house of the Lord our God I will seek thy good.

Cântico para os peregrinos a caminho de Jerusalém; salmo de Davi.

122 Alegrei-me quando me disseram:
“Vamos à casa do Senhor”.
Agora estamos aqui,
junto às suas portas, ó Jerusalém.
Jerusalém é cidade bem construída,
com muros firmes e compactos.
Todas as tribos de Israel, o povo do Senhor,
sobem para cá.
Vêm para dar graças ao nome do Senhor,
conforme a lei requer.
Aqui estão os tronos de onde se pronunciam julgamentos,
os tronos da dinastia de Davi.

Orem pela paz de Jerusalém;
sejam prósperos todos que amam esta cidade.
Que haja paz dentro de seus muros
e prosperidade em seus palácios.
Em favor de minha família e amigos, direi:
“Que você tenha paz, ó Jerusalém!”.
Em favor da casa do Senhor, nosso Deus,
buscarei o seu bem.

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.”
Our feet have been standing
Within your gates, O Jerusalem!

Jerusalem is built
As a city that is (B)compact together,
(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.
(E)For thrones are set there for judgment,
The thrones of the house of David.

(F)Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:
“May they prosper who love you.
Peace be within your walls,
Prosperity within your palaces.”
For the sake of my brethren and companions,
I will now say, “Peace be within you.”
Because of the house of the Lord our God
I will (G)seek your good.
