Psalms 122

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

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

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.

2Our 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.

3Jerusalem is builded 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.

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