Psalm 122 :: American Standard Version (ASV)

A Song of Ascents; of David.

I was glad when they said unto me,

Let us go unto the house of Jehovah.

Our feet are standing

Within thy gates, O Jerusalem,

Jerusalem, that art builded

As a city that is compact together;

Whither the tribes go up, even the tribes of Jehovah,

For an ordinance for Israel,

To give thanks unto the name of Jehovah.

For there are set thrones for judgment,

The thrones of the house of David.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:

They shall prosper that love thee.

Peace be within thy walls,

And prosperity within thy palaces.

For my brethren and companions’ sakes,

I will now say, Peace be within thee.

For the sake of the house of Jehovah our God

I will seek thy good.
