PSALM 122

A Song of Degrees Of David

1 I was glad when they said to me, "Into the house of Jehovah we will go.

2 "Our feet shall be standing in thy gates, O Jerusalem!"

3 Jerusalem built as a city, compact in itself together.

4 Thither ascended the tribes, the tribes of God, For a testimony to Israel, To celebrate the name of Jehovah.

5 For there have sat 1 thrones for judgment, The thrones of the house of David.

6 Pray ye for the peace of Jerusalem: Prosper may those who love thee!

7 Peace be within thy bulwark! Prosperity within thy towers!

8 For the sake of my brethren and my neighbors, I will say now, "Peace [be] within thee!"

9 For the sake of the house of Jehovah our God, I will seek good for thee.


1 In the French version it is, "for there are set."
