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.

PSALM 122
Prayer for the Peace of Jerusalem.
A Song of #See Psalm 120 title note.Ascents. Of David.
1I was glad when they said to me,
“Let us go to the house of the Lord.”
2Our feet are standing
Within your gates, O Jerusalem,
3Jerusalem, that is built
As a city that is firmly joined together;
4To which the [twelve] tribes go up, even the tribes of the Lord,
[As was decreed as] an ordinance for Israel,
To give thanks to the name of the Lord.
5For there the thrones of judgment were set,
The thrones of the house of David.
6Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:
“May they prosper who love you [holy city].
7May peace be within your walls
And prosperity within your palaces.”
8For the sake of my brothers and my friends,
I will now say, “May peace be within you.”
9For the sake of the house of the Lord our God [which is Jerusalem],
I will seek your (the city’s) good.
