Chapter 122

  I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go unto the house of Jehovah.  

-

  Our feet are standing Within thy gates, O Jerusalem,  

-

  Jerusalem, that art builded As a city that is compact together;  

-

  Whither the tribes go up, even the tribes of Jehovah, [For] an ordinance for Israel, To give thanks unto the name of Jehovah.  

-

  For there are set thrones for judgment, The thrones of the house of David.  

-

  Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: They shall prosper that love thee.  

-

  Peace be within thy walls, And prosperity within thy palaces.  

-

  For my brethren and companions' sakes, I will now say, Peace be within thee.  

-

  For the sake of the house of Jehovah our God I will seek thy good. Psalm 123 A Song of Ascents.
