Go to the House of Yahweh

A Song of Ascents. Of David.

122 I was glad when they said to me,
“Let us (A)go to the house of Yahweh.”
Our feet are standing
Within your (B)gates, O Jerusalem,
Jerusalem, which is (C)built
As a city (D)joined altogether;
To which the tribes, the tribes of Yah, (E)go up—
A testimony for Israel—
To give thanks to the name of Yahweh.
For there, (F)thrones sit for judgment,
The thrones of the house of David.

Pray for the (G)peace of Jerusalem:
“May they prosper who (H)love you.
May peace be within your (I)walls,
And tranquility within your (J)palaces.”
For the sake of my (K)brothers and my friends,
I will now say, “(L)May peace be within you.”
For the sake of the house of Yahweh our God,
I will (M)seek your good.

122 1 David rejoiceth in the name of the faithful, that God hath accomplished his promise and placed his Ark in Zion. 5 For the which he giveth thanks, 8 And prayeth for the prosperity of the Church.

A song of degrees, or Psalm of David.

I (A)[a]rejoiced when they said to me, We will go into the house of the Lord.

Our [b]feet shall stand in thy gates, O Jerusalem.

Jerusalem is built as a city, that is [c]compact together in itself:

Whereunto [d]the Tribes, even the Tribes of the Lord go up according to the testimony to Israel, to praise the Name of the Lord.

For there are thrones set for judgment, even the thrones of the house of [e]David.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: let them prosper that love thee.

Peace be within thy [f]walls, and prosperity within thy palaces.

For my [g]brethren and neighbors’ sakes, I will wish thee now prosperity.

Because of the House of the Lord our God, I will procure thy wealth.

Papuri sa Jerusalem

122 Ako ay nagalak ng sabihin nila sa akin,
    “Pumunta tayo sa templo ng Panginoon.”
At ngayoʼy narito na kami at nakatayo sa pintuan ng Jerusalem.
Ang Jerusalem ay bayan na itinayong maganda at matibay.
Dito pumupunta ang mga lahi ng Israel upang purihin ang Panginoon ng naaayon sa kanyang itinuro sa kanila.
Dito sa Jerusalem ang hukuman ng mga hari na mula sa angkan ni David.
Idalangin ninyo na maging mabuti ang kalagayan ng Jerusalem sa pamamagitan ng pagsasabi,
    “Umunlad sana ang nagmamahal sa bayan na ito.
Magkaroon sana ng kapayapaan sa loob ng Jerusalem at kaunlaran sa palasyo nito.”

Alang-alang sa aking mga kamag-anak at mga kaibigan, sasabihin ko sa Jerusalem,
    “Sumainyo ang kapayapaan.”
Alang-alang sa templo ng Panginoon na ating Dios, mananalangin ako para sa kabutihan at kaunlaran ng Jerusalem.
