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.

A Song of Degrees. I was glad when they said to me, Let us go into the house of the Lord.

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

Our feet stood in your courts, O Jerusalem.

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

Jerusalem is built as a city whose fellowship is complete.

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.

For there the tribes went up, the tribes of the Lord, as a testimony for Israel, to give thanks to the name of the Lord.

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

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

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

Pray now for the peace of Jerusalem: and [let there be] prosperity to them that love you.

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

Let peace, I pray, be within your host, and prosperity in your palaces.

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

For the sake of my brethren and my neighbors, I have indeed spoken peace concerning you.

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

Because of the house of the Lord our God, I have diligently sought your good.
