Psalms 122

1 A song of degrees, or Psalme of David. I rejoiced, when they sayd to me, We wil go into the house of the Lord.

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

2 Our feete shall stand in thy gates, O Ierusalem.

Our feet are standing inside thy gates, O Jerusalem.

3 Ierusalem is builded as a citie, that is compact together in it selfe:

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

4 Whereunto the Tribes, euen the Tribes of the Lord go vp according to the testimonie to Israel, to prayse the Name of the Lord.

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

5 For there are thrones set for iudgement, euen the thrones of the house of Dauid.

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

6 Pray for the peace of Ierusalem: let them prosper that loue thee.

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

7 Peace be within thy walles, and prosperitie within thy palaces.

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

8 For my brethren and neighbours sakes I will wish thee now prosperitie.

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

9 Because of the House of the Lord our God, I will procure thy wealth.

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