Psalms 122

1 I was glad when they said to me, Let us go to the house of Jehovah.

A Song of degrees. Of David. I rejoiced when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of Jehovah.

2 Our feet are standing inside thy gates, O Jerusalem.

Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem.

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

Jerusalem, which art built as a city that is compact together,

4 where the tribes go up, even the tribes of Jehovah, for an ordinance for Israel, to give thanks to the name of Jehovah.

Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of Jah, a testimony to Israel, to give thanks unto the name of Jehovah.

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

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

6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. They shall prosper who love thee.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.

7 Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces.

Peace be within thy bulwarks, prosperity within thy palaces.

8 For my brothers and companions' sakes I will now say, Peace be within thee.

For my brethren and companions' sakes I will say, Peace be within thee!

9 For the sake of the house of Jehovah our God I will seek thy good.

Because of the house of Jehovah our God I will seek thy good.
