| Chapter 121 |
1 | 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. |
