PSALM 122

1–2 minutes

How joyous when they said, To God’s house go,”
Within thy gates, Jerusalem, we stand.
Her walls compact, where tribes their praise bestow,
To David’s house, as God did once command.
There thrones of judgment sit, where justice reigns,
We pray for peace, O city of our Lord.
May those who love thee prosper, free from chains,
Thy walls secure, thy peace by God restored.
