Psalms 122

English Standard Version (ESV)

Back to Bible
1 ⓐ I was glad when they said to me, ⓑ“Let us go to the house of the LORD!”
2 Our feet have been standing within your gates, O Jerusalem!
3 Jerusalem —ⓒ built as a city that isⓓ bound firmly together,
4 to which the tribesⓔ go up, the tribes of the LORD, as wasⓕ decreed for[1] Israel, to give thanks to the name of the LORD.
5 Thereⓖ thrones for judgment were set, the thrones of the house of David.
6 ⓗ Pray for the peace of Jerusalem! “May they be secure who love you!
7 Peace be within yourⓘ walls and security within yourⓙ towers!”
8 For my brothers and companions' sake I will say,ⓚ “Peace be within you!”
9 For the sake of the house of the LORD our God, I willⓛ seek your good.
