Psalms 122

1 A Song of degrees of David. I was glad when they said to me, Let us go into the house of the LORD.

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

2 Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem.

Our feet are standing inside thy gates, O Jerusalem.

3 Jerusalem is built as a city that is compact together:

Jerusalem, that is built as a city that is compact together,

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

where the tribes go up, even the tribes of Jehovah, for an ordinance for Israel, to give thanks to the name of Jehovah.

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

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

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

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. They shall prosper who love thee.

7 Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces.

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

8 For my brethren and companions’ sake, I will now say, Peace be within thee.

For my brothers 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.

For the sake of the house of Jehovah our God I will seek thy good.
