Psalm 121 — The Holy Bible

An ode of ascents.

I was glad when they said to me,

“Let us go into the house of the Lord.”

Our feet stand in your courts,

O Jerusalem.

Jerusalem is built as a city

Whose compactness is complete.

There the tribes went up,

The tribes of the Lord, a testimony to Israel,

To give thanks to the name of the Lord.

For thrones sat there for judgment,

Thrones over the house of David.

Ask now for things regarding the peace of Jerusalem,

And there is prosperity for those who love you;

Let there now be peace in your power

And prosperity in your citadels.

For the sake of my brothers and my neighbors,

I indeed spoke peace concerning you;

For the sake of the house of the Lord our God,

I sought good things for you.
