Psalm 122

¹ A Song of Ascents; of David. I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go unto the house of Jehovah.

² Our feet are standing Within thy gates, O Jerusalem,

³ Jerusalem, that art builded As a city that is compact together;

⁴ Whither the tribes go up, even the tribes of Jehovah, For an ordinance for Israel, To give thanks unto the name of Jehovah.

⁵ 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.

⁷ Peace be within thy walls, And prosperity within thy palaces.

⁸ For my brethren and companions’ sakes, I will now say, Peace be within thee.

⁹ For the sake of the house of Jehovah our God I will seek thy good.
