Psalms 122

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

A Song of Ascents; of David. I rejoiced when they said unto me: 'Let us go unto the house of the LORD.'

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

Our feet are standing within thy gates, O Jerusalem;

3 Jerusalem is builded as a city that is compact together:

Jerusalem, that art builded as a city that is compact together;

4 Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of Yah, unto the testimony of Israel, to give thanks unto the name of Yhwh.

Whither the tribes went up, even the tribes of the LORD, as a testimony unto Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the LORD.

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

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

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

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem; may they prosper that love thee.

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

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

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

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

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

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