Psalm 122
Lætatus sum
1
I was glad when they said to me,
"Let us go to the house of the LORD ."
2
Now our feet are standing
within your gates, O Jerusalem.
3
Jerusalem is built as a city
that is at unity with itself;
4
To which the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD ,
the assembly of Israel, to praise the Name of the LORD .
5
For there are the thrones of judgment,
the thrones of the house of David.
6
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:
"May they prosper who love you.
7
Peace be within your walls
and quietness within your towers.
8
For my brethren and companions' sake,
I pray for your prosperity.
9
Because of the house of the LORD our God,
I will seek to do you good."
