Psalms 122

1To thee have I lifted up my eyes, who dwellest in heaven.

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

2Behold as the eyes of servants are on the hands of their masters, As the eyes of the handmaid are on the hands of her mistress: so are our eyes unto the Lord our God, until he have mercy on us.

2 Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem.

3Have mercy on us, O Lord, have mercy on us: for we are greatly filled with contempt.

3 Jerusalem, which art built as a city that is compact together,

4For our soul is greatly filled: we are a reproach to the rich, and contempt to the proud.

4 Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of Jah, a testimony to Israel, to give thanks unto the name of Jehovah.
