Psalms 122
Theme: Stepping into the presence of God. What Jerusalem was for the Israelites, the church is to the believer.
A Song of degrees of David.
1I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORD. +
2Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem.
3Jerusalem is builded as a city that is compact together: +
4Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, unto the testimony of Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the LORD. +
5For there are set thrones of judgment, the thrones of the house of David. +
6Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee. +
7Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces. +
8For my brethren and companions’ sakes, I will now say, Peace be within thee. +
9Because of the house of the LORD our God I will seek thy good.
