Psalm 122
Lætatus sum
The Book of Common Prayer (1979) · 9 verses
- 1
I was glad when they said to me, *
"Let us go to the house of the LORD." - 2
Now our feet are standing *
within your gates, O Jerusalem. - 3
Jerusalem is built as a city *
that is at unity with itself; - 4
To which the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, *
the assembly of Israel, to praise the Name of the LORD. - 5
For there are the thrones of judgment, *
the thrones of the house of David. - 6
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: *
"May they prosper who love you. - 7
Peace be within your walls *
and quietness within your towers. - 8
For my brethren and companions' sake, *
I pray for your prosperity. - 9
Because of the house of the LORD our God, *
I will seek to do you good."
