Psalm 122

A Prayer for the Peace of Jerusalem

1I was glad when they said unto me,

Let us go into the house of the Lord .

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

3Jerusalem is builded as a city that is compact together:

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 are set thrones of judgment,

the thrones of the house of David.

6Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:

they shall prosper that love thee.

7Peace be within thy walls,

and prosperity within thy palaces.

8For my brethren and companions' sakes,

I will now say, Peace be within thee.

9Because of the house of the Lord our God

I will seek thy good.
