Psalm 122

1 A Song of the Ascents. Of David. <span class=|reftext|><a href=|#|><b>1</b></a> I was glad at the saying to me, “Let us go [to] the house of YHWH.”

2 Our feet have been standing within your gates, O Jerusalem!

3 Jerusalem is built up as a city joined to itself together;

4 there the tribes go up, the tribes of YAH, as a testimony for Israel, to give thanks to the name of YHWH.

5 For there sit the thrones of judgment, the thrones of the house of David.

6 Ask for the peace of Jerusalem: “May they prosper, those loving you!

7 May there be peace within your wall, prosperity within your citadels!”

8 For the sake of my brothers and my companions let me now say: “Peace [be] within you!”

9 For the sake of the house of YHWH our God I will seek good for you.
