121
1 A Song of Degrees.
I was glad when they said to me,
Let us go into the house of the Lord.
2 Our feet stood
In thy courts, O Jerusalem.
3 Jerusalem is built as a city
Whose fellowship is complete.
4 For thither the tribes went up,
The tribes of the Lord, as a testimony for Israel,
To give thanks unto the name of the Lord.
5 For there are set thrones for judgment,
Even thrones for the house of David.
6 Pray now for the peace of Jerusalem:
And let there be prosperity to them that love thee.
7 Let peace, I pray, be within thy host,
And prosperity in thy palaces.
8 For the sake of my brethren and my neighbors,
I have indeed spoken peace concerning thee.
9 Because of the house of the Lord our God,
I have diligently sought thy good.
