A Song of Ascents. Of David
Psa. 122:1 I rejoiced when they said to me, / Let us go to the house of Jehovah.
Psa. 122:2 Our feet are standing / Within your gates, O Jerusalem.
Psa. 122:3 Jerusalem has been built as a city / That has been compacted together;
Psa. 122:4 To which the tribes go up, / The tribes of Jehovah — / A testimony for Israel — / To give thanks to the name of Jehovah.
Psa. 122:5 For there thrones are set for judgment, / Thrones of the house of David.
Psa. 122:6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. / Those who love you will prosper.
Psa. 122:7 Peace be within your bulwarks, / And prosperity within your citadels.
Psa. 122:8 For my brothers’ and companions’ sake I will now say, / Peace be within you.
Psa. 122:9 For the sake of the house of Jehovah our God / I will seek your good.
