PSALM 122
A Song of degrees. Of David.
1I rejoiced when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of Jehovah. 2Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem. 3Jerusalem, which art built as a city that is compact together, 4Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of Jah, a testimony to Israel, to give thanks unto the name of Jehovah. 5For there are set thrones for judgment, the thrones of the house of David.
6Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee. 7Peace be within thy bulwarks, prosperity within thy palaces. 8For my brethren and companions' sakes I will say, Peace be within thee! 9Because of the house of Jehovah our God#GodHebrew: Elohim I will seek thy good.

Psalm 122
122
Let Us Go to the House of the Lord
A Song of #[See Ps. 120, title]Ascents. Of David.
1I was glad when they said to me,
#
Isa. 2:3; Mic. 4:2; Zech. 8:21 “Let us go to the house of the Lord!”
2Our feet have been standing
within your gates, O Jerusalem!
3Jerusalem—#Ps. 147:2 built as a city
that is #Neh. 4:6bound firmly together,
4to which the tribes #Deut. 16:16 go up,
the tribes of the Lord,
as was #Ps. 78:5decreed for#122:4 Or as a testimony for Israel,
to give thanks to the name of the Lord.
5There #Deut. 17:8; 2 Sam. 15:2; 1 Kgs. 3:16; 7:7; 2 Chr. 19:8thrones for judgment were set,
the thrones of the house of David.
6 # [Ps. 51:18; Jer. 29:7] Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!
“May they be secure who love you!
7Peace be within your #Ps. 48:13walls
and security within your #Ps. 48:13towers!”
8For my brothers and companions’ sake
I will say, #[1 Sam. 25:6; Ps. 85:8]“Peace be within you!”
9For the sake of the house of the Lord our God,
I will #Neh. 2:10; Esth. 10:3seek your good.
