Psalm 122

₁I was glad when they | said to me,*

        "Let us go to the house | of the Lord!"

₂Our feet have been | standing*

        within your gates, O Je- | rusalem!

₃Jerusalem—built as a | city*

        that is bound firmly to- | gether,

₄to which the tribes go up,

        the tribes of the Lord,

as was decreed for | Israel,*

        to give thanks to the name | of the Lord.

₅There thrones for judg- | ment were set,*

        the thrones of the house of | David.

₆Pray for the peace of Je- | rusalem!*

        "May they be secure who | love you!

₇Peace be with- | in your walls*

        and security within your | towers!"

₈For my brothers and com- | panions' sake*

        I will say, "Peace be with- | in you!"

        ₉For the sake of the house of the |Lord our God,*

        I will | seek your good.
