Psalm 122

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

I rejoiced with those who said to me,
    ‘Let us go to the house of the Lord.’

Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem.

Our feet are standing
    in your gates, Jerusalem.

Jerusalem is builded as a city that is compact together:

Jerusalem is built like a city
    that is closely compacted together.

Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of the Lord, unto the testimony of Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the Lord.

That is where the tribes go up –
    the tribes of the Lord –
to praise the name of the Lord
    according to the statute given to Israel.

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

There stand the thrones for judgment,
    the thrones of the house of David.

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

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:
    ‘May those who love you be secure.

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

May there be peace within your walls
    and security within your citadels.’

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

For the sake of my family and friends,
    I will say, ‘Peace be within you.’

Because of the house of the Lord our God I will seek thy good.

For the sake of the house of the Lord our God,
    I will seek your prosperity.
