Psalms 122

1 A Song of the Ascents, by David. I have rejoiced in those saying to me, 'To the house of Jehovah we 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 Our feet have been standing in thy gates, O Jerusalem!

Our feete shall stand in thy gates, O Ierusalem.

3 Jerusalem — the builded one — [Is] as a city that is joined to itself together.

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

4 For thither have tribes gone up, Tribes of Jah, companies of Israel, To give thanks to the name of Jehovah.

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 have sat thrones of judgment, Thrones of the house of David.

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

6 Ask ye the peace of Jerusalem, At rest are those loving thee.

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

7 Peace is in thy bulwark, rest in thy high places,

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

8 For the sake of my brethren and my companions, Let me speak, I pray thee, 'Peace [be] in thee.'

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

9 For the sake of the house of Jehovah our God, I seek good for thee!

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