Psalms 122

1A Song of the Ascents, by David. I have rejoiced in those saying to me, `To the house of Jehovah we go.'

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

2Our feet have been standing in thy gates, O Jerusalem!

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

3Jerusalem--the builded one--<FI> Is<Fi> as a city that is joined to itself together.

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

4For thither have tribes gone up, Tribes of Jah, companies of Israel, To give thanks to the name of Jehovah.

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

5For there have sat thrones of judgment, Thrones of the house of David.

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

6Ask ye the peace of Jerusalem, At rest are those loving thee.

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

7Peace is in thy bulwark, rest in thy high places,

7 Peace be within thy bulwarks, prosperity within thy palaces.

8For the sake of my brethren and my companions, Let me speak, I pray thee, `Peace <FI>be<Fi> in thee.'

8 For my brethren and companions' sakes I will say, Peace be within thee!

9For the sake of the house of Jehovah our God, I seek good for thee!

9 Because of the house of Jehovah ourGod I will seek thy good.
