Psalms 122

1 A song for pilgrims going up to Jerusalem. A psalm of David. I was so happy when they said to me, “Let's go the house of the Lord.”

Yo me alegré con los que me decían: A la casa de Jehová iremos.

2 Now we're standing inside your gates, Jerusalem!

Nuestros pies estuvieron en tus puertas, o! Jerusalem.

3 Jerusalem is built as a city where people can be together.

Jerusalem, la que es edificada como una ciudad que está unida consigo a una.

4 All the tribes—the tribes of the Lord—go up there, following the command given to Israel to give thanks to the Lord.

Porque allá subieron las tribus, las tribus de Jehová, el testimonio a Israel, para alabar el nombre de Jehová.

5 This is where the thrones are placed, where judgment is given, the thrones of the house of David.

Porque allá están las sillas del juicio: las sillas de la casa de David.

6 Pray that Jerusalem may be at peace. May everyone who loves Jerusalem be kept safe.

Demandád la paz de Jerusalem: sean pacificados los que te aman.

7 May there be peace within your walls, and safety within your fortresses.

Haya paz en tu antemuro, descanso en tus palacios.

8 On behalf of my family and friends, I will now say, “May you be at peace.”

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

9 On behalf of the house of the Lord our God, I pray that everything goes well for you.

A causa de la casa de Jehová nuestro Dios buscaré bien para ti.
