Psalms 122

1 David professeth his joy for the Church, 6 and prayeth for the peace thereof.

 122:1 ¶ [[A Song of Ascents; of David.]] I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go unto the house of Jehovah.

 122:2 Our feet are standing Within thy gates, O Jerusalem,

 122:3 Jerusalem, that art builded As a city that is compact together;

 122:4 Whither the tribes go up, even the tribes of Jehovah, [For] an ordinance for Israel, To give thanks unto the name of Jehovah.

 122:5 For there are set thrones for judgment, The thrones of the house of David.

 122:6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: They shall prosper that love thee.

 122:7 Peace be within thy walls, And prosperity within thy palaces.

 122:8 For my brethren and companions' sakes, I will now say, Peace be within thee.

 122:9 For the sake of the house of Jehovah our God I will seek thy good.
