Psalm 122
A Song of Ascents. By David.
1 I
was glad when
they said to me,
“Let’s go to
the LORD’s house!”
2 Our
feet are standing
within your gates,
Jerusalem!
3 Jerusalem
is built as
a city that
is compact
together,
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.
5 For
there are set
thrones for
judgment,
the thrones of
David’s house.
6 Pray
for the peace
of Jerusalem.
Those who love you
will prosper.
7 Peace
be within your
walls,
and prosperity within
your palaces.
8 For
my brothers’ and
companions’ sakes,
I will now
say, “Peace
be within you.”
9 For
the sake of
the house of
the LORD our
God,
I will seek
your good.
