(122) A Song of Degrees.
1 I was glad when they said to me, Let us go into the house of the Lord.
2 Our feet stood in your courts, O Jerusalem.
3 Jerusalem is built as a city whose fellowship is complete.
4 For there the tribes went up, the tribes of the Lord, as a testimony for Israel, to give thanks to the name of the Lord.
5 For there are set thrones for judgement, even thrones for the house of David.
6 * Pray now for the peace of Jerusalem: and let there be prosperity to them that love you.
7 Let peace, I pray, be within your host, and prosperity in your palaces.
8 For the sake of my brethren and my neighbours, I have indeed spoken peace concerning you.
9 Because of the house of the Lord our God, I have diligently sought your good.
* 121:6 Or, ask Jerusalem how it is with her.
