| Chapter 122 |
1 |
A Song of degrees of David. I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORD. --
|
2 |
Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem. --
|
3 |
Jerusalem is builded as a city that is compact together: --
|
4 |
Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, unto the testimony of Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the LORD. --
|
5 |
For there are set thrones of judgment, the thrones of the house of David. --
|
6 |
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee. --
|
7 |
Peace be within thy walls, [and] prosperity within thy palaces. --
|
8 |
For my brethren and companions' sakes, I will now say, Peace [be] within thee. --
|
9 |
Because of the house of the LORD our God I will seek thy good. --
