Psalms 121
-
1 A gradual canticle. I rejoiced at the things that were said to me: We shall go into the house of the Lord.
-
2 Our feet were standing in thy courts, O Jerusalem.
-
3 Jerusalem, which is built as a city, which is compact together.
-
4 For thither did the tribes go up, the tribes of the Lord: the testimony of Israel, to praise the name of the Lord.
-
5 Because their seats have sat in judgment, seats upon the house of David.
-
6 Pray ye for the things that are for the peace of Jerusalem: and abundance for them that love thee.
-
7 Let peace be in thy strength: and abundance in thy towers.
-
8 For the sake of my brethren, and of my neighbours, I spoke peace of thee.
-
9 Because of the house of the Lord our God, I have sought good things for thee.
