Psalms 121

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