The Psalms

Psalm 122

A Song of Ascents; of David.

 ^122:1I was glad when they said unto me,

 Let us go unto the house of Jehovah.

 ^122:2Our feet are standing

 Within thy gates, O Jerusalem,

 ^122:3Jerusalem, that art builded

 As a city that is compact together;

 ^122:4Whither the tribes go up, even the tribes of Jehovah,

 For an ordinance for Israel,

 To give thanks unto the name of Jehovah.

 ^122:5For there are set thrones for judgment,

 The thrones of the house of David.

 ^122:6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:

 They shall prosper that love thee.

 ^122:7Peace be within thy walls,

 And prosperity within thy palaces.

 ^122:8For my brethren and companions' sakes,

 I will now say, Peace be within thee.

 ^122:9For the sake of the house of Jehovah our God

 I will seek thy good.
