122:1 A Song of Ascents. Of David. 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, that is built As a city that is firmly joined together;
122:4 To which the [twelve] tribes go up, even the tribes of the Lord, [As was decreed as] an ordinance 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 [holy city].
122:7 “May peace be within your walls And prosperity within your palaces.”
122:8 For the sake of my brothers and my friends, I will now say, “May peace be within you.”
122:9 For the sake of the house of the Lord our God [which is Jerusalem], I will seek your (the city’s) good.
