Psalms 122

¹I was glad when they said to me,
“Let us go into the house of the Lord .”

²Our feet have been standing Within your gates, O Jerusalem!

³Jerusalem is built
As a city that is compact together,

⁴Where the tribes go up, The tribes of the Lord , To the Testimony of Israel, To give thanks to the name of the Lord .

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

⁶Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:
“May they prosper who love you.

⁷Peace be within your walls, Prosperity within your palaces.”

⁸For the sake of my brethren and companions, I will now say, “Peace be within you.”

⁹Because of the house of the Lord our God I will seek your good.
