‏ Psalms 122

1 A Song of Ascents; of David. I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go unto the house of Jehovah. 2 Our feet ^▼▼1 are standing Within thy gates, O Jerusalem, ^{▼▼1) Or have stood} 3 Jerusalem, that art builded As a city that is compact together; 4 Whither the tribes go up, even the tribes of ^▼▼1 Jehovah, For ^▼▼2 an ordinance for Israel, To give thanks unto the name of Jehovah. ^{▼▼1) Heb Jah 2) Heb a testimony} 5 For there ^▼▼1 are set thrones for judgment, The thrones of the house of David. ^{▼▼1) Or were}

6 ^▼▼1 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: ^▼▼2 They shall prosper that love thee. ^{▼▼1) Or Salute ye Jerusalem 2) Or May they} 7 Peace be within thy walls, And prosperity within thy palaces. 8 For my brethren and companions’ sakes, I will now ^▼▼1 say, Peace be within thee. ^{▼▼1) Or speak peace concerning thee} 9 For the sake of the house of Jehovah our God I will seek thy good.
