Psalm 122

*A Song of degrees †of David.

1  I was glad when they said unto me,

Let us go ainto the house of the Lord.

2  Our feet shall stand

Within thy gates, O Jerusalem.

3  Jerusalem is bbuilded

As a city that cis compact together:

4  dWhither the tribes go up, the tribes of the eLord,

Unto fthe testimony of Israel,

To give thanks unto the name of the Lord.

5  For gthere †are set thrones of judgment,

The thrones of the house of David.

6  hPray for the peace of Jerusalem:

They shall prosper that love thee.

7  Peace be within thy iwalls,

And prosperity within thy ipalaces.

8  For my brethren and companions’ sakes,

I will now say, kPeace be within thee.

9  Because of the house of the Lord our God

I will lseek thy good.
