| Chapter 122 |
1 | {A Song of degrees. Of David.} I rejoiced when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of Jehovah. |
2 | Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem. |
3 | Jerusalem, which art built as a city that is compact together, |
4 | Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of Jah, a testimony to 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 bulwarks, prosperity within thy palaces. |
8 | For my brethren and companions' sakes I will say, Peace be within thee! |
9 | Because of the house of Jehovah our God I will seek thy good. |
