Psalm 122:3-9

3 Jerusalem, que se ha edificado Como una ciudad que está bien unida entre sí.

4 Y allá subieron las tribus, las tribus de JAH, Conforme al testimonio dado á Israel, Para alabar el nombre de Jehová.

5 Porque allá están las sillas del juicio, Las sillas de la casa de David.

6 Pedid la paz de Jerusalem: Sean prosperados los que te aman.

7 Haya paz en tu antemuro, Y descanso en tus palacios.

8 Por amor de mis hermanos y mis compañeros Hablaré ahora paz de ti.

9 A causa de la casa de Jehová nuestro Dios, Buscaré bien para ti.

Psalm 122:3-9 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.
