Psalms 122

1. 1 A Song of the Ascents, by David. I have rejoiced in those saying to me, 'To the house of Jehovah we go.'
2. 2 Our feet have been standing in thy gates, O Jerusalem!
3. 3 Jerusalem — the builded one — [Is] as a city that is joined to itself together.
4. 4 For thither have tribes gone up, Tribes of Jah, companies of Israel, To give thanks to the name of Jehovah.
5. 5 For there have sat thrones of judgment, Thrones of the house of David.
6. 6 Ask ye the peace of Jerusalem, At rest are those loving thee.
7. 7 Peace is in thy bulwark, rest in thy high places,
8. 8 For the sake of my brethren and my companions, Let me speak, I pray thee, 'Peace [be] in thee.'
9. 9 For the sake of the house of Jehovah our God, I seek good for thee!
