Psalms
Chapter 121
- 1
Welcome sound, when I heard them saying, We will go into the Lord’s house!
- 2
Within thy gates, Jerusalem, our feet stand at last;
- 3
Jerusalem, built as a city should be built that is one in fellowship.
- 4
There the tribes meet, the Lord’s own tribes, to give praise, as Israel is ever bound, to the Lord’s name;
- 5
there the thrones are set for judgement, thrones for the house of David.
- 6
Pray for all that brings Jerusalem peace! May all who love thee dwell at ease!
- 7
Let there be peace within thy ramparts, ease in thy strongholds!
- 8
For love of my brethren and my familiar friends, peace is still my prayer for thee;
- 9
remembering the house of the Lord our God, for thy happiness I plead.
