122:1  I was glad when they said to me, Let us go to the house of the Lord!
122:2  Our feet are standing within your gates, O Jerusalem!—
122:3  Jerusalem, which is built as a city that is compacted together—
122:4  To which the tribes go up, even the tribes of the Lord, as was decreed and as a testimony for Israel, to give thanks to the name of the Lord.
122:5  For there the thrones of judgment were set, the thrones of the house of David.
122:6  Pray for the peace of Jerusalem! May they prosper who love you [the Holy City]!
122:7  May peace be within your walls and prosperity within your palaces!
122:8  For my brethren and companions’ sake, I will now say, Peace be within you!
122:9  For the sake of the house of the Lord our God, I will seek, inquire for, and require your good.
