Psalm - 122

picture

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

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

3 J erusalem is built As a city that is compact together,

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

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

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

7 P eace be within your walls, Prosperity within your palaces.”

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

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