| Chapter 122 |
1 | A Song of degrees of David. I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORD.
|
2 | Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem.
|
3 | Jerusalem is builded as a city that is compact together:
|
4 | Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, unto the testimony of Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the LORD.
|
5 | For there are set thrones of 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 walls, [and] prosperity within thy palaces.
|
8 | For my brethren 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.
