Psalm 122 - ESV Online - Literal Word

PSALM 122

Let Us Go to the House of the Lord

A Song of Ascents. Of David.
122:1

I was glad when they said to me,

“Let us go to the house of the Lord!” 2

Our feet have been standing

within your gates, O Jerusalem!
3

Jerusalem—built as a city

that is bound firmly together, 4

to which the tribes go up,

the tribes of the Lord,

as was decreed for Israel,

to give thanks to the name of the Lord. 5

There thrones for judgment were set,

the thrones of the house of David.
6

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!

“May they be secure who love you! 7

Peace be within your walls

and security within your towers!” 8

For my brothers and companions’ sake

I will say, “Peace be within you!” 9

For the sake of the house of the Lord our God,

I will seek your good.
