| Chapter 122 |
1 |
A Song of the going up. Of David.
I was glad because they said to me, We will go into the house of the Lord. --
|
2 |
At last our feet were inside your doors, O Jerusalem. --
|
3 |
O Jerusalem, you are like a town which is well joined together; --
|
4 |
To which the tribes went up, even the tribes of the Lord, for a witness to Israel, to give praise to the name of the Lord. --
|
5 |
For there seats for the judges were placed, even the rulers' seats of the line of David. --
|
6 |
O make prayers for the peace of Jerusalem; may they whose love is given to you do well. --
|
7 |
May peace be inside your walls, and wealth in your noble houses. --
|
8 |
Because of my brothers and friends, I will now say, Let peace be with you. --
|
9 |
Because of the house of the Lord our God, I will be working for your good. --
