Psalm 122
1 Ein Wallfahrtslied. Von David.
Ich freue mich an denen, die zu mir
sagen:
Lasst uns zum Haus des Herrn gehen!
2 Nun stehen unsere Füße
in deinen Toren, Jerusalem!
3 Jerusalem, du bist gebaut
als eine fest gefügte Stadt,
4 wohin die Stämme hinaufziehen,
die Stämme des Herrn
— ein Zeugnis für Israel —,
um zu preisen den Namen des Herrn!
5 Denn dort sind Throne zum Gericht aufgestellt,
die Throne des Hauses David.
6 Bittet für den Frieden Jerusalems!
Es soll denen wohlgehen, die dich lieben!
7 Friede sei in deinen Mauern
und sichere Ruhe in deinen Palästen!
8 Um meiner Brüder und Freunde willen
sage ich: Friede sei in dir!
9 Um des Hauses des Herrn, unsres Gottes, willen
will ich dein Bestes suchen!
Psalm 122
English Standard Version
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!”
2 Our feet have been standing
within your gates, O Jerusalem!
3 Jerusalem—(C)built as a city
that is (D)bound firmly together,
4 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.
5 There (G)thrones for judgment were set,
the thrones of the house of David.
6 (H)Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!
“May they be secure who love you!
7 Peace be within your (I)walls
and security within your (J)towers!”
8 For my brothers and companions' sake
I will say, (K)“Peace be within you!”
9 For the sake of the house of the Lord our God,
I will (L)seek your good.
