Psalms 122 - Revised Version 1885(RV1885)

A Song of Ascents; of David.

1I was glad when they said unto me,

Let us go unto the house of the LORD.

2Our feet are standing

Within thy gates, O Jerusalem;

3Jerusalem, that art builded

As a city that is compact together:

4Whither the tribes go up, even the tribes of the LORD,

For a testimony unto Israel,

To give thanks into the name of the LORD.

5For there are set thrones for judgement,

The thrones of the house of David.

6Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:

They shall prosper that love thee.

7Peace be within thy walls,

And prosperity within thy palaces.

8For my brethren and companions' sakes,

I will now say, Peace be within thee.

9For the sake of the house of the LORD our God

I will seek thy good.
