Psalms 122

1 [A Song of degrees of David.] I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORD. 2 Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem. 3 Jerusalem is builded as a city that is compact together: 4 Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, unto the testimony of Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the LORD. 5 For there are set thrones of judgment, the thrones of the house of David. {are...: Heb. do sit} 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 Because of the house of the LORD our God I will seek thy good.
