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