122:1 A Song of the Ascents, by David. I have rejoiced in those saying to me, `To the house of Jehovah we go.' |
122:2 Our feet have been standing in thy gates, O Jerusalem! |
122:3 Jerusalem -- the builded one -- `Is' as a city that is joined to itself together. |
122:4 For thither have tribes gone up, Tribes of Jah, companies of Israel, To give thanks to the name of Jehovah. |
122:5 For there have sat thrones of judgment, Thrones of the house of David. |
122:6 Ask ye the peace of Jerusalem, At rest are those loving thee. |
122:7 Peace is in thy bulwark, rest in thy high places, |
122:8 For the sake of my brethren and my companions, Let me speak, I pray thee, `Peace `be' in thee.' |
122:9 For the sake of the house of Jehovah our God, I seek good for thee! |
