Psalms 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 aOr, ask Jerusalem how it is with her.Pray now for the peace of Jerusalem: and
let there be prosperity to them that love thee.
7 Let peace, I pray, be within thine
host, and prosperity in thy palaces.
8 For the sake of my brethren and my
neighbours, I have indeed spoken peace concerning thee.
9 Because of the house of the Lord our
God, I have diligently sought thy good.
