Psalms 122:1-5

¹A song of ascents. Of David. I was glad when they said to me, “We will go to the house of the Lord.”

²Now we are standing, within your gates, O Jerusalem.

³O Jerusalem, built close-packed, like a city without breach or gap,

⁴to you do the tribes come, the tribes of the Lord, as the law has ordained for Israel, there to give thanks to the Lord.

⁵There once stood thrones of justice even thrones of the household of David.
