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.

1A song of ascents. By David:
I was glad when they said to me,
“The house of Adonai! Let’s go!”
2Our feet were already standing
at your gates, Yerushalayim.
3Yerushalayim, built as a city
fostering friendship and unity.
4The tribes have gone up there, the tribes of Adonai,
as a witness to Isra’el,
to give thanks to the name of Adonai.
5For there the thrones of justice were set up,
the thrones of the house of David.
6Pray for shalom in Yerushalayim;
may those who love you prosper.
7May shalom be within your ramparts,
prosperity in your palaces.
8For the sake of my family and friends, I say,
“Shalom be within you!”
9For the sake of the house of Adonai our God,
I will seek your well-being.
