Psalm 122

<<A Song of degrees of David.>>

 

 Ps 122:1 ¶ 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.

 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.
