PSALM 122
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
A Song of Ascents,
Of David.
1I joy'd when to the house of God,
Go up, they said to me.
2Jerusalem, within thy gates
our feet shall standing be.
3Jerus'lem, as a city, is
compactly built together:
4Unto that place the tribes go up,
the tribes of God go thither:
To Isr'el's testimony, there
to God's name thanks to pay.
5For thrones of judgment, ev'n the thrones
of David's house, there stay.
6Pray that Jerusalem may have
peace and felicity:
Let them that love thee and thy peace
have still prosperity.
7Therefore I wish that peace may still
within thy walls remain,
And ever may thy palaces
prosperity retain.
8Now, for my friends' and brethren's sakes,
Peace be in thee, I'll say.
9And for the house of God our Lord,
I'll seek thy good alway.

Tehillim (Psalms) 122
122
1I was glad when they said to me, “Let us go into the House of יהוה.”
2Our feet have been standing Within your gates, O Yerushalayim!
3Yerushalayim is built As a city that is bound together,
4Where the tribes have come up, The tribes of Yah, A witness to Yisra’ĕl, To give thanks to the Name of יהוה.
5For there the thrones of right-ruling were set, The thrones of the house of Dawiḏ.
6Pray for the peace of Yerushalayim, Let those who love You be at rest.
7Peace be within your walls, Rest in your citadels.
8For the sake of my brothers and companions, I say, “Peace be within you.”
9For the sake of the House of יהוה our Elohim I seek your good.
