| Chapter 122 |
1 |
I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go unto the house of Jehovah. --
|
2 |
Our feet are standing Within thy gates, O Jerusalem, --
|
3 |
Jerusalem, that art builded As a city that is compact together; --
|
4 |
Whither the tribes go up, even the tribes of Jehovah, [For] an ordinance for Israel, To give thanks unto the name of Jehovah. --
|
5 |
For there are set thrones for judgment, The thrones of the house of David. --
|
6 |
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: They shall prosper that love thee. --
|
7 |
Peace be within thy walls, And prosperity within thy palaces. --
|
8 |
For my brethren and companions' sakes, I will now say, Peace be within thee. --
|
9 |
For the sake of the house of Jehovah our God I will seek thy good. Psalm 123 A Song of Ascents. --
