Psalms 122

1 I was glad because they said to me, We will go into the house of the Lord.

1 I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go unto the house of Jehovah.

2At last our feet were inside your doors, O Jerusalem.

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

3O Jerusalem, you are like a town which is well joined together;

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

4To 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.

4Whither the tribes go up, even the tribes of Jehovah, Foran ordinance for Israel, To give thanks unto the name of Jehovah.

5For there seats for the judges were placed, even the rulers' seats of the line of David.

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

6O make prayers for the peace of Jerusalem; may they whose love is given to you do well.

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

7May peace be inside your walls, and wealth in your noble houses.

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

8Because of my brothers and friends, I will now say, Let peace be with you.

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

9Because of the house of the Lord our God, I will be working for your good.

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