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 122
122
(Shir HaMa'alot [Song of Ascents], of Dovid)
1I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the Bais Hashem.
2Our feet shall stand within thy she'arim, O Yerushalayim.
3Yerushalayim is built as an Ir bound firmly together;
4That is where the Shevatim (tribes) go up, the Shivtei Hashem, according to the edut l'Yisroel (the statute to Yisroel), to give thanks unto the Shem of Hashem.
5For there are set kise'ot l'mishpat (thrones of judgment), the kise'ot of the Bais Dovid.
6Sha'alu shalom Yerushalayim (pray for the peace of Jerusalem); they shall prosper that love thee.
7Shalom be within thy wall, and security within thy citadels.
8L'ma'an (for the sake of) my achim and companions, I will now say, Shalom be within thee.
9L'ma'an the Bais Hashem Eloheinu I will seek thy tov.
