Psalm 122

1 Ein Wallfahrtslied. Von David. Ich freute mich, als sie zu mir sagten: »Wir gehen zum Haus des HERRN!« (Ps 26,8) 2 Unsere Füße standen ⟨dann⟩ in deinen Toren, Jerusalem. 3 Jerusalem, die du aufgebaut bist als eine fest in sich geschlossene Stadt, 4 wohin die Stämme hinaufziehen, die Stämme Jahs, ein Mahnzeichen für Israel, um den Namen des HERRN zu preisen. (5Mo 16,16; Ps 81,6; Ps 100,4; Joh 4,20)

5Mo 16,16Ps 81,6Ps 100,4Joh 4,20

5 Denn dort stehen Throne zum Gericht, die Throne des Hauses David. (5Mo 17,8; 1Kön 7,7; 2Chr 19,8) 6 Erbittet Heil^[1] für Jerusalem! Ruhe sollen die haben, die dich lieben! (Neh 11,2; Ps 51,20; Jes 66,10) 7 Heil^[2] sei in deinen Festungswerken, sichere Ruhe in deinen Palästen. 8 Wegen meiner Brüder und meiner Freunde will ich sagen: Heil^[3] sei in dir! 9 Wegen des Hauses des HERRN, unseres Gottes, will ich dein Bestes suchen.
