# Psalms 122 [[Psalms 121|←]] • [[Psalms 123|→]] --- A Song of degrees of David. ### 1 I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the Lord. ### 2 Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem. ### 3 Jerusalem is builded as a city that is compact together: ### 4 Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of the Lord, unto the testimony of Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the Lord. ### 5 For there are set thrones of judgment, the thrones of the house of David. ### 6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee. ### 7 Peace be within thy walls, prosperity within thy palaces. ### 8 For my brethren and companions' sakes, I will now say, Peace within thee. ### 9 Because of the house of the Lord our God I will seek thy good.
