Salmos 122

1 Una canción de ascensos. Por David. Me alegré cuando me dijeron, “¡Vamos a la casa de Yahvé!”

A Song of the going up. Of David. I was glad because they said to me, We will go into the house of the Lord.

2 ¡Nuestros pies están dentro de tus puertas, Jerusalén!

At last our feet were inside your doors, O Jerusalem.

3 Jerusalén se construye como una ciudad compacta,

O Jerusalem, you are like a town which is well joined together;

4 donde suben las tribus, incluso las de Yah, según una ordenanza para Israel, para dar gracias al nombre de Yahvé.

To which the tribes went up, even the tribes of the Lord, for a witness to Israel, to give praise to the name of the Lord.

5 Porque hay tronos establecidos para el juicio, los tronos de la casa de David.

For there seats for the judges were placed, even the rulers' seats of the line of David.

6 Reza por la paz de Jerusalén. Los que te aman prosperarán.

O make prayers for the peace of Jerusalem; may they whose love is given to you do well.

7 Que la paz esté dentro de tus muros, y la prosperidad en sus palacios.

May peace be inside your walls, and wealth in your noble houses.

8 Por el bien de mis hermanos y compañeros, Ahora diré: “La paz esté dentro de ti”.

Because of my brothers and friends, I will now say, Let peace be with you.

9 Por el bien de la casa de Yahvé nuestro Dios, Buscaré tu bien.

Because of the house of the Lord our God, I will be working for your good.
