Psalmen 122

1. ¹A Song of Ascents; of David. I rejoiced when they said unto me: 'Let us go unto the house of the LORD.'
2. ²Our feet are standing within thy gates, O Jerusalem;
3. ³Jerusalem, that art builded as a city that is compact together;
4. ⁴Whither the tribes went up, even the tribes of the LORD, as a testimony unto Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the LORD.
5. ⁵For there were set thrones for judgment, the thrones of the house of David.
6. ⁶Pray for the peace of Jerusalem; may they prosper that love thee.
7. ⁷Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces.
8. ⁸For my brethren and companions' sakes, I will now say: 'Peace be within thee.'
9. ⁹For the sake of the house of the LORD our God I will seek thy good.
