Psalm Ps. 122. This psalm celebrates Zion as God’s chosen city (compare Psalms 46; 48; 76; 87), and the privilege of going there on a pilgrimage (compare Psalm 84). Not only is “the house of the Lord” there, but so are “the thrones of the house of David.”
Ps. 122:1–2 The song begins by remembering (they said is past tense) the invitation to go to Jerusalem for worship (the house of the Lord). The person has now arrived (our feet have been standing). The anticipation (I was glad) is now to be fulfilled.
Ps. 122:3–5 The singer looks around Jerusalem. Bound firmly together probably compares the physical coziness of the city to the sense of unity the pilgrim expects to find there.
Ps. 122:4 decreed. See Deut. 12:5.
Ps. 122:6–9 In light of what Jerusalem should be, the psalm ends by urging God’s people to seek the conditions that will make that a reality: the peace of Jerusalem.
