Psalms 122 ⓘ

122:1 A Song of Ascents. By David. I was glad when they said to me, “Let’s go to the LORD’s house!”

122:2 Our feet are standing within your gates, Jerusalem!

122:3 Jerusalem is built as a city that is compact together,

122:4 where the tribes go up, even the LORD’s tribes, according to an ordinance for Israel, to give thanks to the LORD’s name.

122:5 For there are set thrones for judgement, the thrones of David’s house.

122:6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Those who love you will prosper.

122:7 Peace be within your walls, and prosperity within your palaces.

122:8 For my brothers’ and companions’ sakes, I will now say, “Peace be within you.”

122:9 For the sake of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek your good.
