Let Us Go to the House of the Lord
122A Song of Ascents, of David. I was glad when they said to me, "Let us go to the house of the Lord."
2
Our feet are standing Within your gates, O Jerusalem,
3
Jerusalem, that is built As a city that is compact together;
4
To which the tribes go up, even the tribes of the Lord—An ordinance for Israel—To give thanks to the name of the Lord.
5
For there thrones were set for judgment, The thrones of the house of David.
6
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: "May they prosper who love you.
7
"May peace be within your walls, And prosperity within your palaces."
8
For the sake of my brothers and my friends, I will now say, "May peace be within you."
9
For the sake of the house of the Lord our God, I will seek your good.
