Psalms

Chapter 122
1

I was glad when they said to me, “Let us go into the house of the Lord.”

2

Our feet have been standing Within your gates, O Jerusalem!

3

Jerusalem is built As a city that is compact together,

4

Where the tribes go up, The tribes of the Lord, To the Testimony of Israel, To give thanks to the name of the Lord.

5

For thrones are set there for judgment, The thrones of the house of David.

6

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: “May they prosper who love you.

7

Peace be within your walls, Prosperity within your palaces.”

8

For the sake of my brethren and companions, I will now say, “Peace be within you.”

9

Because of the house of the Lord our God I will seek your good.
