| Chapter 122 |
1 | A Song of the going up. Of David.
I was glad because they said to me, We will go into the house of the Lord.
|
2 | At last our feet were inside your doors, O Jerusalem.
|
3 | O Jerusalem, you are like a town which is well joined together;
|
4 | To which the tribes went up, even the tribes of the Lord, for a witness to Israel, to give praise to the name of the Lord.
|
5 | For there seats for the judges were placed, even the rulers' seats of the line of David.
|
6 | O make prayers for the peace of Jerusalem; may they whose love is given to you do well.
|
7 | May peace be inside your walls, and wealth in your noble houses.
|
8 | Because of my brothers and friends, I will now say, Let peace be with you.
|
9 | Because of the house of the Lord our God, I will be working for your good.
