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 THE ASCENTS. BY DAVID. I have rejoiced in those saying to me, “We go to the house of YHWH.”

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

Our feet have been standing in your gates, O Jerusalem!

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

Jerusalem—the built one—[Is] as a city that is joined to itself 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.

For there tribes have gone up, Tribes of YAH, companies of Israel, To give thanks to the Name of YHWH.

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

For there thrones of judgment have sat, Thrones of the house of David.

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

Ask [for] the peace of Jerusalem, Those loving you are at rest.

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

Peace is in your bulwark, rest in your high places,

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

For the sake of my brothers and my companions, Please let me speak, “Peace [be] in you.”

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

For the sake of the house of our God YHWH, I seek good for you!
