| Chapter 121 |
1 |
I rejoiced at the things that were said to me: We shall go into the house of the Lord. --
|
2 |
Our feet were standing in thy courts, O Jerusalem. --
|
3 |
Jerusalem, which is built as a city, which is compact together. --
|
4 |
For thither did the tribes go up, the tribes of the Lord: the testimony of Israel, to praise the name of the Lord. --
|
5 |
Because their seats have sat in judgment, seats upon the house of David. --
|
6 |
Pray ye for the things that are for the peace of Jerusalem: and abundance for them that love thee. --
|
7 |
Let peace be in thy strength: and abundance in thy towers. --
|
8 |
For the sake of my brethren, and of my neighbours, I spoke peace of thee. --
|
9 |
Because of the house of the Lord our God, I have sought good things for thee. --
