Psalm 122
Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition
122 To thee have I lifted up my eyes, who dwellest in heaven.
2 Behold as the eyes of the servants are on the hands of their masters, As the eyes of the handmaid are on the hands of her mistress: so are our eyes unto the Lord our God, until he have mercy on us.
3 Have mercy on us, O Lord, have mercy on us: for we are greatly filled with contempt.
4 For our soul is greatly filled: we are a reproach to the rich, and contempt to the proud.
Psalm 122
English Standard Version
Let Us Go to the House of the Lord
A Song of (A)Ascents. Of David.
122 I was glad when they said to me,
(B)“Let us go to the house of the Lord!”
2 Our feet have been standing
within your gates, O Jerusalem!
3 Jerusalem—(C)built as a city
that is (D)bound firmly together,
4 to which the tribes (E)go up,
the tribes of the Lord,
as was (F)decreed for[a] Israel,
to give thanks to the name of the Lord.
5 There (G)thrones for judgment were set,
the thrones of the house of David.
6 (H)Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!
“May they be secure who love you!
7 Peace be within your (I)walls
and security within your (J)towers!”
8 For my brothers and companions' sake
I will say, (K)“Peace be within you!”
9 For the sake of the house of the Lord our God,
I will (L)seek your good.

Oración por la paz de Jerusalén
Cántico gradual. De David.
122 Yo me alegro con los que me dicen:
«Vamos a la casa del Señor.»
2 Ya nuestros pies se dan prisa;
¡ya estamos, Jerusalén, ante tus puertas!
3 La ciudad de Jerusalén fue construida
como centro de reunión de la comunidad.
4 Todas las tribus del Señor llegan a ella,
cumpliendo con la orden dada a Israel
de alabar allí el nombre del Señor.
5 Allí se encuentran los tribunales de justicia;
allí está el trono de la casa de David.
6 Pidamos por la paz de Jerusalén,
y porque prosperen los que te aman.
7 Que haya paz dentro de tus murallas,
y se respire tranquilidad en tus palacios.
8 Por mis hermanos y mis compañeros,
ruego a Dios que haya paz en ti.
9 Por el templo del Señor nuestro Dios,
pido a Dios que te dé bienestar.
