Psalm 122 | birchwood-church

Sussex

1 "To the LORD's house!" they were calling,

and with joy I went with them.

2 Now at last our feet are standing

in your gates, Jerusalem.

3 See, Jerus'lem, like a city

built compactly, close and strong.

4 That is where the tribes assemble,

tribes which to the LORD belong.

To the LORD's name praise they offer,

as for Israèl decreed.

5 There are set the thrones for judgment,

thrones of David's royal seed.

6 Pray for Zion's peace and safety:

"May your friends securely dwell;

7 Peace within your walls continue,

strength within your citadel."

8 For the sake of friends and brothers,

"Peace be in you," I will say.

9 For the sake of our God's temple,

I seek your prosperity.
