Psalms 122

1 A Canticle in steps. I rejoiced in the things that were said to me: “We shall go into the house of the Lord.”

Yo me alegraba cuando me decían: Vayamos a la Casa de Yavé.

2 Our feet were standing in your courts, O Jerusalem.

Nuestros pies están plantados dentro de tus puertas, Oh Jerusalén.

3 Jerusalem has been built as a city, whose participation is unto itself.

Jerusalén está edificada Como una ciudad compacta,

4 For to that place, the tribes ascended, the tribes of the Lord: the testimony of Israel, to confess to the name of the Lord.

Adonde suben las tribus de YA, Según una Ordenanza para Israel, A dar gracias al Nombre de Yavé,

5 For in that place, seats have sat down in judgment, seats above the house of David.

Porque allá están establecidos tronos de juicio, Los tronos de la casa de David.

6 Petition for the things that are for the peace of Jerusalem, and for abundance for those who love you.

Oren por la paz de Jerusalén: Que prosperen los que te aman,

7 Let peace be in your virtue, and abundance in your towers.

Que haya paz dentro de tus muros Y prosperidad dentro de tus palacios.

8 For the sake of my brothers and my neighbors, I spoke peace about you.

Por amor a mis hermanos y a mis amigos, diré ahora: Haya paz dentro de ti.

9 For the sake of the house of the Lord our God, I sought good things for you.

Por amor a la Casa de Yavé nuestro ʼElohim, Oraré por tu bien.
