| Chapter 121 |
1 | I rejoiced at the things that were said to me: We shall go into the house of the Lord.
|
2 | Our feet were standing in thy courts, O Jerusalem.
|
3 | Jerusalem, which is built as a city, which is compact together.
|
4 | For thither did the tribes go up, the tribes of the Lord: the testimony of Israel, to praise the name of the Lord.
|
5 | Because their seats have sat in judgment, seats upon the house of David.
|
6 | Pray ye for the things that are for the peace of Jerusalem: and abundance for them that love thee.
|
7 | Let peace be in thy strength: and abundance in thy towers.
|
8 | For the sake of my brethren, and of my neighbours, I spoke peace of thee.
|
9 | Because of the house of the Lord our God, I have sought good things for thee.
