122:1 | | <A Song of the going up. Of David.> I was glad because they said to me, We will go into the house of the Lord. |
122:2 | | At last our feet were inside your doors, O Jerusalem. |
122:3 | | O Jerusalem, you are like a town which is well joined together; |
122:4 | | To which the tribes went up, even the tribes of the Lord, for a witness to Israel, to give praise to the name of the Lord. |
122:5 | | For there seats for the judges were placed, even the rulers' seats of the line of David. |
122:6 | | O make prayers for the peace of Jerusalem; may they whose love is given to you do well. |
122:7 | | May peace be inside your walls, and wealth in your noble houses. |
122:8 | | Because of my brothers and friends, I will now say, Let peace be with you. |
122:9 | | Because of the house of the Lord our God, I will be working for your good. |
