Psalms 122

KJ3 Literal Translation — Chapter 122 of 150

1 A Song of Ascents; of David. I was glad when they said to me, Let us go into the house of Jehovah.

2 Our feet shall stand within your gates, O Jerusalem.

3 Jerusalem is built like a city that is joined to itself, together.

4 There the tribes go up, the tribes of Jehovah; to the testimony of Israel; to give thanks to the name of Jehovah.
