King James Version

Psalms • Chapter 122

1 A song of ascents. Of David. I rejoiced when they said to me, "Let us go to the house of the Lord." 2 Our feet stood within your gates, O Jerusalem. 3 Jerusalem, that is built as a city that is joined together. 4 There, the tribes of Yah, the tribes of Israel, ascended to give thanks to the name of the Lord. 5 For there they have sat thrones for judgment, thrones of the house of David. 6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem; may they prosper who love you. 7 Let there be peace in your might, tranquility in your palaces. 8 For the sake of my brother and my friend, I will now speak peace to you. 9 For the sake of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek good for you.
