Psalm 122
A Prayer for the
Peace of Jerusalem |
A Song of degrees of
David. |
|
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
