Chapter 122 House of the Lord

1 I was glad when they said unto me,

Let us go into the house (of the LORD).

2 Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem.

3 Jerusalem is builded [as] a city that is compact together:

4 Whither the tribes go up (the tribes of the LORD unto the testimony of Israel) to give thanks unto the name (of the LORD).

5 For there are set thrones of 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 walls, and prosperity within thy palaces.

8 For my brethren and companions' sakes, I will now say,

Peace be within thee.

9 Because of the house of the LORD (our God) I will seek thy good.
