Psalms 122

1 A Song of Ascents. David’s. I was glad, when they were saying unto me, Unto the house of Yahweh, let us go!

A song of degrees, or Psalme of David. I rejoiced, when they sayd to me, We wil go into the house of the Lord.

2 Standing are our feet, within thy gates, O Jerusalem!

Our feete shall stand in thy gates, O Ierusalem.

3 Jerusalem! that hath been builded, A true city, all joined together as one:

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

4 Whither have come up the tribes, The tribes of Yah, A testimony to Israel, To give thanks unto the Name of Yahweh:

Whereunto the Tribes, euen the Tribes of the Lord go vp according to the testimonie to Israel, to prayse the Name of the Lord.

5 For there are set—Thrones for justice, Thrones for the house David.

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

6 Ask ye for the peace of Jerusalem, They shall prosper, who love thee!

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

7 Peace be within thy walls, prosperity within thy palaces:

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

8 For the sake of my brethren and friends, Oh, might I speak [saying], Peace be within thee!

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

9 For the sake of the house of Yahweh our God, will I seek blessing for thee.

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