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!
