122:1 [A Song of Ascents. Of David.] I was glad when they said to me, "Let us go to the house of the LORD!" 122:2 Our feet have been standing within your gates, O Jerusalem! 122:3 Jerusalem--built as a city that is bound firmly together, 122:4 to which the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, as was decreed for Israel, to give thanks to the name of the LORD. 122:5 There thrones for judgment were set, the thrones of the house of David. 122:6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem! "May they be secure who love you! 122:7 Peace be within your walls and security within your towers!" 122:8 For my brothers and companions' sake I will say, "Peace be within you!" 122:9 For the sake of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek your good.
