Psalms 122: 1 - 9
|
| 1
|
I was glad when they said to me, "Let us go to the house of the LORD!"
|
| 2
|
Our feet have been standing within your gates, O Jerusalem!
|
| 3
|
Jerusalem, built as a city which is bound firmly together,
|
| 4
|
to which the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, as was decreed for Israel, to give thanks to the name of the LORD.
|
| 5
|
There thrones for judgment were set, the thrones of the house of David.
|
| 6
|
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem! "May they prosper who love you!
|
| 7
|
Peace be within your walls, and security within your towers!"
|
| 8
|
For my brethren and companions' sake I will say, "Peace be within you!"
|
| 9
|
For the sake of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek your good. ------------------------------------------------------------------------
