Psalms

122

Revised Standard Version

1 A Song of Ascents. Of David. I was glad when they said to me, 'Let us go to the house of the LORD!'

2 Our feet have been standing within your gates, O Jerusalem!

3 Jerusalem, built as a city which is bound firmly together,

4 to which the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, as was decreed for Israel, to give thanks to the name of the LORD.

5 There thrones for judgment were set, the thrones of the house of David.

6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem! 'May they prosper who love you!

7 Peace be within your walls, and security within your towers!'

8 For my brethren and companions" sake I will say, 'Peace be within you!'

9 For the sake of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek your good.
