Psalm 122

¶ A ſong of degrees, or Pſalme of Dauid.
1.I Reioyced, when they ſaid to me, We wil go into the houſe of the Lord.
2.Our fete ſhal ſtand in thy gates, ô Ieruſalém.
3.Ieruſalém is byulded as a citie, that is compact together in it ſelf:
4.Whereunto the tribes, euen the tribes of the Lord go vp according to the teſtimonie to Iſraél, to praiſe the Name of the Lord.
5.For there are thrones ſet for iudgement, euen the thrones of the houſe of Dauid.
6.Praie for the peace of Ieruſalém: let the proſper that loue thee.
7.Peace be within thy walles, & proſperitie within thy palaces.
8.For my brethren and neighbours ſakes I wil wiſh thee now proſperitie.
9.Becauſe of the Houſe of the Lord our God, I wil procure thy welth.
