< Psalms 122

[1] I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORD.

[2] Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem.

[3] Jerusalem is builded as a city that is compact together:

[4] Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, unto the testimony of Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the LORD.

[5] For there are set thrones of judgment, the thrones of the house of David.

[6] Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.

[7] Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces.

[8] For my brethren and companions' sakes, I will now say, Peace be within thee.

[9] Because of the house of the LORD our God I will seek thy good.
