Psalm 122

Vers 1

I joy’d when to the house of God,
Go up, they said to me.
Jerusalem, within thy gates
our feet shall standing be.

Vers 2

Jerus’lem, as a city, is
compactly built together:
Unto that place the tribes go up,
the tribes of God go thither:

Vers 3

To Isr’el’s testimony, there
to God’s name thanks to pay.
For thrones of judgment, ev’n the thrones
of David’s house, there stay.

Vers 4

Pray that Jerusalem may have
peace and felicity:
Let them that love thee and thy peace
have still prosperity.

Vers 5

Therefore I wish that peace may still
within thy walls remain,
And ever may thy palaces
prosperity retain.

Vers 6

Now, for my friends’ and brethren’s sakes,
Peace be in thee, I’ll say.
And for the house of God our Lord,
I’ll seek thy good alway.
