Chapter 122
Psalms
Verse 1I was glad when they said to me,“Let us go to the house of the LORD!”Verse 2Our feet have been standingwithin your gates, O Jerusalem!Verse 3Jerusalem—built as a citythat is bound firmly together,Verse 4to which the tribes go up,the tribes of the LORD,as was decreed for Israel,to give thanks to the name of the LORD.Verse 5There thrones for judgment were set,the thrones of the house of David.Verse 6Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!“May they be secure who love you!Verse 7Peace be within your wallsand security within your towers!”Verse 8For my brothers and companions’ sakeI will say, “Peace be within you!”Verse 9For the sake of the house of the LORD our God,I will seek your good.
