Psalms 122

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

A Song of Ascents; of David. I was glad 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 built 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 the LORD, to the testimony of Israel, to give thanks to the name of the LORD.

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.

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 thee.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall 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' sake, 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 the LORD our God I will seek thy good.

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