Psalms 122

1 A song of degrees, or Psalme of David. I rejoiced, when they sayd to me, We wil go into the house of the Lord.

I was glad when they said to me, Let us go into the house of the LORD.

2 Our feete shall stand in thy gates, O Ierusalem.

Our feet shall stand within your gates, O Jerusalem.

3 Ierusalem is builded as a citie, that is compact together in it selfe:

Jerusalem is built as a city that is compact together:

4 Whereunto the Tribes, euen the Tribes of the Lord go vp according to the testimonie to Israel, to prayse the Name of the Lord.

Where the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, to the testimony of Israel, to give thanks to the name of the LORD.

5 For there are thrones set for iudgement, euen the thrones of the house of Dauid.

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

6 Pray for the peace of Ierusalem: let them prosper that loue thee.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love you.

7 Peace be within thy walles, and prosperitie within thy palaces.

Peace be within your walls, and prosperity within your palaces.

8 For my brethren and neighbours sakes I will wish thee now prosperitie.

For my brothers and companions’ sakes, I will now say, Peace be within you.

9 Because of the House of the Lord our God, I will procure thy wealth.

Because of the house of the LORD our God I will seek your good.
