Psalm 122

English Standard Version



1 A Song of Ascents. Of David. I was glad when they said to me, “Let us go to the house of the Lord!” (Ps 120:1; Isa 2:3; Mic 4:2; Zec 8:21) 2 Our feet have been standing within your gates, O Jerusalem! 3 Jerusalem—built as a city that is bound firmly together, (Ne 4:6; Ps 147:2) 4 to which the tribes go up, the tribes of the Lord, as was decreed for[1] Israel, to give thanks to the name of the Lord. (De 16:16; Ps 78:5) 5 There thrones for judgment were set, the thrones of the house of David. (De 17:8; 2Sa 15:2; 1Ki 3:16; 1Ki 7:7; 2Ch 19:8) 6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem! “May they be secure who love you! (Ps 51:18; Jer 29:7) 7 Peace be within your walls and security within your towers!” (Ps 48:13) 8 For my brothers and companions’ sake I will say, “Peace be within you!” (1Sa 25:6; Ps 85:8) 9 For the sake of the house of the Lord our God, I will seek your good. (Ne 2:10; Es 10:3)

Psalm 122

Neue evangelistische Übersetzung



1 Ein Lied für den Aufstieg zum Tempel. Von David. Ich freute mich, als sie zu mir sagten: / "Zum Haus Jahwes wollen wir gehen!" 2 Unsere Füße standen dann in deinen Toren, Jerusalem. 3 Jerusalem, du bist gebaut als eine fest in sich geschlossene Stadt. 4 Zu dir ziehen die Stämme hinauf, die Stämme Jahwes. Denn es ist Israel verordnet, / dort den Namen Jahwes zu preisen. 5 Dort sind auch die Sitze des obersten Gerichts, / die Throne für Davids Königshaus. 6 Erbittet Frieden für Jerusalem! / Gut soll es allen gehen, die dich lieben. 7 Frieden wohne in deinen Mauern, / in deinen Häusern Geborgenheit. 8 Wegen meiner Brüder und Freunde sage ich: / "Friede sei mit dir!" 9 Weil das Haus unseres Gottes, Jahwe, in dir steht, / suche ich das Beste für dich, Jerusalem.
