Psalm 122

¹I rejoiced at the things that were said to me: We shall go into the house of the Lord.

²Our feet were standing in thy courts, O Jerusalem.

³Jerusalem, which is built as a city, which is compact together.

⁴For thither did the tribes go up, the tribes of the Lord: the testimony of Israel, to praise the name of the Lord.

⁵Because their seats have sat in judgment, seats upon the house of David.

⁶Pray ye for the things that are for the peace of Jerusalem: and abundance for them that love thee.

⁷Let peace be in thy strength: and abundance in thy towers.

⁸For the sake of my brethren, and of my neighbours, I spoke peace of thee.

⁹Because of the house of the Lord our God, I have sought good things for thee.
