| 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.
