# Psalms 122

*David prayeth for the peace of Jerusalem. 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, and prosperity within thy palaces.
**8** For my brethren and companions' sakes, I will now say. Peace be within thee.
**9** Because of the house of the Lord our God I will seek thy good.
