121:1 (A gradual canticle.)I rejoiced at the things that were said to me: We shall go into the house of the Lord
121:2 Our feet were standing in thy courts, O Jerusalem.
121:3 Jerusalem, which is built as a city, which is compact together.
121:4 For thither did the tribes go up, the tribes of the Lord: the testimony of Israel, to praise the name of the Lord.
121:5 Because their seats have sat in judgment, seats upon the house of David.
121:6 Pray ye for the things that are for the peace of Jerusalem: and abundance for them that love thee.
121:7 Let peace be in thy strength: and abundance in thy towers.
121:8 For the sake of my brethren, and of my neighbours, I spoke peace of thee.
121:9 Because of the house of the Lord our God, I have sought good things for thee.
