Psalms 122

1 A song of ascents. Of David. I was glad when they said to me, “Let us go to the house of the LORD.”

I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of YHWH.

2 Our feet are standing in your gates, O Jerusalem.

Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem.

3 Jerusalem is built up as a city united together,

Jerusalem is builded as a city that is compact together:

4 where the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, as a testimony for Israel, to give thanks to the name of the LORD.

Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of YAH, unto the testimony of Israel, to give thanks unto the name of YHWH.

5 For there the thrones of judgment stand, the thrones of the house of David.

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

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

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

7 May there be peace within your walls, and prosperity inside your fortresses.”

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

8 For the sake of my brothers and friends, I will say, “Peace be within you.”

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

9 For the sake of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek your prosperity.

Because of the house of YHWH our Elohim I will seek thy good.
