Chapter 122

A Song of degrees of David.
I was glad¹ when they said⁶ unto me, Let us go⁴ into the house of the LORD.

Our feet shall stand⁶ within thy gates, O Jerusalem.

Jerusalem is builded⁷ as a city that is compact²⁷ together:

Whither the tribes go up,¹ the tribes of the LORD, unto the testimony of Israel, to give thanks⁵³ unto the name of the LORD.

For there are set¹ thrones of judgment, the thrones of the house of David.

Pray³ for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper⁴ that love⁶ thee.

Peace be within thy walls, [and] prosperity within thy palaces.

For my brethren and companions' sakes, I will now say,¹⁷ Peace [be] within thee.

Because of the house of the LORD our God I will seek¹⁷ thy good.
