Psalm 122

A Song of Ascents. Of David.

I was glad when they said unto me, “We will go into the house of the Lord.”

Now our feet are standing within your gates, O Jerusalem.

Jerusalem is built as a city that is at unity in itself.

For there the tribes go up, even the tribes of the Lord, as was decreed for Israel, to give thanks unto the Name of the Lord.

For there is the throne of judgment, even the throne of the house of David.

O pray for the peace of Jerusalem; they shall prosper that love you.

Peace be within your walls and plenteousness within your palaces.

For my brethren and companions’ sakes, I will wish you prosperity.

Indeed, because of the house of the Lord our God, I will seek to do you good.
