Psalms 122

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

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

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

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

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

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.

3Jerusalem is builded as a city that is compact together:

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

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

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

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

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

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