Psalms 122

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

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

2 Our feet are standing within thy gates, O Jerusalem;

Our feet shall stand within your gates, O Jerusalem.

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

Jerusalem is built as a city that is compact together:

4 Whither the tribes go up, even the tribes of the LORD [for] a testimony unto Israel, to give thanks into the name of the LORD.

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

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

For there are set thrones of 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: they shall prosper that love you.

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

Peace be within your walls, and prosperity within your 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 you.

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

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