2nd Day Evening - Psalm 122

Psalm 122   Lætatus sum

 

1            I was glad when they said to me, *

        “Let us go to the house of the Lord.”

 

2            Now our feet are standing *

        within your gates, O Jerusalem.

 

3            Jerusalem is built as a city *

        that is at unity with itself;

4            To which the tribes go up,

the tribes of the Lord, *

        the assembly of Israel,

        to praise the Name of the Lord.

 

5            For there are the thrones of judgment, *

        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 quietness within your towers.

 

8            For my brethren and companions’ sake, *

        I pray for your prosperity.

 

9            Because of the house of the Lord our God, *

        I will seek to do you good.”
