The Psalm

Psalms. Chapter 122. A Song of Ascents. By David. I was glad when they said to me, “Let’s go to the LORD’s house!” Our feet are standing within your gates, Jerusalem! Jerusalem is built as a city that is compact together, where the tribes go up, even the LORD’s tribes, according to an ordinance for Israel, to give thanks to the LORD’s name. For there are set thrones for judgement, the thrones of David’s house. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Those who love you will prosper. Peace be within your walls, and prosperity within your palaces. For my brothers’ and companions’ sakes, I will now say, “Peace be within you.” For the sake of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek your good.

A Song of Ascents
By David
I was glad when they said to me, Lets go to the LORDs house
Our feet are standing within your gates, Jerusalem
Jerusalem is built as a city that is compact together
Where the tribes go up even the LORDs tribes
According to an ordinance for Israel to give thanks to the LORDs name
For there are set thrones for judgement, the thrones of Davids house
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem
Those who love you will prosper
Peace be within your walls, and prosperity within your palaces
For my brothers and companions sakes, I will now say, Peace be within you
For the sake of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek your good
