Psalm 122

Let Us Go to the House of the Lord

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 have been standing
within your gates, O Jerusalem!

3  Jerusalem—built as a city
that is bound firmly together,
4  to which the tribes go up,
the tribes of the Lord,
as was decreed fort Israel,
to give thanks to the name of the Lord.
5  There thrones for judgment were set,
the thrones of the house of David.

6  Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!
"May they be secure who love you!
7  Peace be within your walls
and security within your towers!"
8  For my brothers and companions' sake
I will say, "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.
