| Chapter 122 |
1 | A Song of the going up. Of David.
I was glad because they said to me, We will go into the house of the Lord. |
2 | At last our feet were inside your doors, O Jerusalem. |
3 | O Jerusalem, you are like a town which is well joined together; |
4 | To which the tribes went up, even the tribes of the Lord, for a witness to Israel, to give praise to the name of the Lord. |
5 | For there seats for the judges were placed, even the rulers' seats of the line of David. |
6 | O make prayers for the peace of Jerusalem; may they whose love is given to you do well. |
7 | May peace be inside your walls, and wealth in your noble houses. |
8 | Because of my brothers and friends, I will now say, Let peace be with you. |
9 | Because of the house of the Lord our God, I will be working for your good. |
