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 you be secure.
May there be peace within your walls
    and security within your citadels.’
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.

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.

122 Cantique des degrés. De David. Je suis dans la joie quand on me dit: Allons à la maison de l'Éternel!

Nos pieds s'arrêtent Dans tes portes, Jérusalem!

Jérusalem, tu es bâtie Comme une ville dont les parties sont liées ensemble.

C'est là que montent les tribus, les tribus de l'Éternel, Selon la loi d'Israël, Pour louer le nom de l'Éternel.

Car là sont les trônes pour la justice, Les trônes de la maison de David.

Demandez la paix de Jérusalem. Que ceux qui t'aiment jouissent du repos!

Que la paix soit dans tes murs, Et la tranquillité dans tes palais!

A cause de mes frères et de mes amis, Je désire la paix dans ton sein;

A cause de la maison de l'Éternel, notre Dieu, Je fais des voeux pour ton bonheur.
