122:1  A Song of Ascents. Of David. I was glad when they said to me, "Let us go to the house of the LORD!"

122:2  Our feet have been standing within your gates, O Jerusalem!

122:3  Jerusalem, built as a city which is bound firmly together,

122:4  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.

122:5  There thrones for judgment were set, the thrones of the house of David.

122:6  Pray for the peace of Jerusalem! "May they prosper who love you!

122:7  Peace be within your walls, and security within your towers!"

122:8  For my brethren and companions' sake I will say, "Peace be within you!"

122:9  For the sake of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek your good.
