122:1 A song of ascents. Of David. I rejoiced with those who said to me, “Let us go to the house of the LORD.”
122:2 Our feet are standing in your gates, O Jerusalem.
122:3 Jerusalem is built like a city that is closely compacted together.
122:4 That is where the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, to praise the name of the LORD according to the statute given to Israel.
122:5 There the thrones for judgment stand, the thrones of the house of David.
122:6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: “May those who love you be secure.
122:7 May there be peace within your walls and security within your citadels.”
122:8 For the sake of my brothers and friends, I will say, “Peace be within you.”
122:9 For the sake of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek your prosperity.
122:1 I rejoiced when they said to me, / Let us go to the house of Jehovah.
122:2 Our feet are standing / Within your gates, O Jerusalem.
122:3 Jerusalem has been built as a city / That has been compacted together;
122:4 To which the tribes go up, / The tribes of Jehovah ? / A testimony for Israel ? / To give thanks to the name of Jehovah.
122:5 For there thrones are set for judgment, / Thrones of the house of David.
122:6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. / Those who love you will prosper.
122:7 Peace be within your bulwarks, / And prosperity within your citadels.
122:8 For my brothers and companions sake I will now say, / Peace be within you.
122:9 For the sake of the house of Jehovah our God / I will seek your good.
