Psalms 122 / 150
- 1
(Let Us Go to the House of the Lord)A Song of Ascents. Of David.
I was glad when they said to me,
"Let us go to the house of the Lord!"
- 2
Our feet have been standing
within your gates, O Jerusalem!
- 3
Jerusalem--built as a city
that is bound firmly together,
- 4
to which the tribes go up,
the tribes of the Lord,
as was decreed for Israel,
to give thanks to the name of the Lord.
- 5
There thrones for judgment were set,
the thrones of the house of David.
- 6
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!
"May they be secure who love you!
- 7
Peace be within your walls
and security within your towers!"
- 8
For my brothers and companions' sake
I will say, "Peace be within you!"
- 9
For the sake of the house of the Lord our God,
I will seek your good.
