Psalm 122

Prayer for the Peace of Jerusalem.

A Song of Ascents, of David.

1 I was glad when they said to me,
"Let us go to the house of the LORD."

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

3 Jerusalem, that is built
As a city that is compact together;

4 To which the tribes go up, even the tribes of the LORD-
An ordinance for Israel-
To give thanks to the name of the LORD.

5 For there thrones were set for judgment,
The thrones of the house of David.

6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:
"May they prosper who love you.

7 "May peace be within your walls,
And prosperity within your palaces."

8 For the sake of my brothers and my friends,
I will now say, "May peace be within you."

9 For the sake of the house of the LORD our God,
I will seek your good.

Psalm 122

1 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.
