Psalms 122

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

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

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

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

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

3Jerusalem is builded 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

7Peace be within thy walls, and 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.'

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

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

9Because of the house of the Lord our God I will seek thy good.
