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.
