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.”

Canción de las gradas: de David. Yo me alegré con los que me decían: A la Casa del SEÑOR iremos.

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

Nuestros pies estuvieron en tus puertas, oh Jerusalén;

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

Jerusalén, la que es edificada como una ciudad que está bien unida entre sí.

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.

Porque allá subieron las tribus, las tribus de JAH, el testimonio a Israel, para alabar el Nombre del SEÑOR.

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

Porque allá están los tronos del 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.

Demandad la paz de Jerusalén; sean pacificados los que te aman.

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

Haya paz en tu antemuro, y descanso en tus palacios.

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

A causa de mis hermanos y mis compañeros hablaré ahora paz de ti.

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

A causa de la Casa del SEÑOR nuestro Dios, buscaré bien para ti.
