Psalm 122*A Pilgrim’s Prayer for Jerusalem1A song of ascents. Of David. I I rejoiced when they said to me, “Let us go to the house of the Lord.”a 2And now our feet are standing within your gates, Jerusalem. 3Jerusalem, built as a city, 4There the tribes go up, the tribes of the Lord, As it was decreed for Israel, to give thanks to the name of the Lord.c 5There are the thrones of justice, the thrones of the house of David.
