122:1 I felt glad when they said to me, "Let us go to the house of the LORD." |
122:2 Our feet stand Within your gates, O Jerusalem, |
122:3 Jerusalem, that its founders have built As a city that has compactness together; |
122:4 To which the tribes go up, even the tribes of the LORD-- An ordinance for Israel-- To give thanks to the name of the LORD. |
122:5 For their thrones became established for judgment, The thrones of the house of David. |
122:6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: "May they prosper who love you. |
122:7 "May peace remain within your walls, And prosperity within your palaces." |
122:8 For the sake of my brothers and my friends, I will now say, " May peace remain within you." |
122:9 For the sake of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek your good. |
