A Song of Ascents. By David.

122:1 I was glad when they said to me,

"Let's go to Yahweh's house!"

122:2 Our feet are standing within your gates, Jerusalem;

122:3 Jerusalem, that is built as a city that is compact together;

122:4 where the tribes go up, even Yah's tribes,

according to an ordinance for Israel,

to give thanks to the name of Yahweh.

122:5 For there are set thrones for judgment,

the thrones of David's house.

122:6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.

Those who love you will prosper.

122:7 Peace be within your walls,

and prosperity within your palaces.

122:8 For my brothers' and companions' sakes,

I will now say, "Peace be within you."

122:9 For the sake of the house of Yahweh our God,

I will seek your good.
