Psalms 122

1 A Song of degrees of David. I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORD.

I rejoiced at the things that were said to me: We shall go into the house of the Lord.

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

Our feet were standing in thy courts, O Jerusalem.

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

Jerusalem, which is built as a city, which is compact together.

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

For thither did the tribes go up, the tribes of the Lord: the testimony of Israel, to praise the name of the Lord.

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

Because their seats have sat in judgment, seats upon the house of David.

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

Pray ye for the things that are for the peace of Jerusalem: and abundance for them that love thee.

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

Let peace be in thy strength: and abundance in thy towers.

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

For the sake of my brethren, and of my neighbours, I spoke peace of thee.

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

Because of the house of the Lord our God, I have sought good things for thee.
