Salmos 122:1-8

1 Yo me alegré con los que me decían: A la Casa del SEÑOR iremos

2 Nuestros pies estuvieron en tus puertas, oh Jerusalén

3 Jerusalén, la que es edificada como una ciudad que está bien unida entre sí

4 Porque allá subieron las tribus, las tribus de JAH, el testimonio a Israel, para alabar el Nombre del SEÑOR

5 Porque allá están los tronos del juicio, los tronos de la casa de David

6 Demandad la paz de Jerusalén; sean pacificados los que te aman

7 Haya paz en tu antemuro, y descanso en tus palacios

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

Salmos 122:1-8 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO PSALM 122

\\<>\\. This is the first of the songs of degrees that bears the name of David: and Kimchi thinks they only were written by him which have his name to them; though he, Abendana, and others, are of opinion that this psalm was composed with a view to the captives in Babylon; who are here represented, and are represented as rejoicing at their going up to Jerusalem, to the solemn feasts there. The inscription in the Syriac version is, ``a "psalm" of David, one of the psalms of ascent, when Cyrus commanded the captivity to go up; spiritually, a promise of good things.'' It seems to be designed for the use of the Israelites, and to be sung by them when they went up to the feasts, three times a year. Some say {a} they sung this by the way, when they carried the firstfruits to Jerusalem. {a} Weemse's Christ. Synagog. l. 1. c. 6. s. 4. p. 144.
