Psalms 122

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

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

2 Our feet shall stand within your gates, O Jerusalem.

Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem.

3 Jerusalem 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, the tribes of the LORD, to the testimony of Israel, to give thanks to the name of the LORD.

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

5 For there are set thrones of 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 that love you.

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

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

Peace be within thy bulwarks, prosperity within thy palaces.

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

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

9 Because of the house of the LORD our God I will seek your good.

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