122:1 The song of degrees of David . I am glad in these things, that be said to me; We shall go into the house of the Lord. ( The song of degrees for David . I was glad, when they said to me, We shall go to the House of the Lord.) 122:2 Our feet were standing; in thy halls/in thy foreyards, thou Jerusalem. (And now our feet stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem.) 122:3 Jerusalem, which is builded as a city; whose partaking thereof is into the same thing. (Jerusalem is built to be a city, where people be together, yea , with one heart and mind .) 122:4 For the lineages, the lineages of the Lord, ascended thither, the witnessing of Israel; to acknowledge to the name of the Lord. (For the tribes, the Lord’s tribes, come there to give thanks to the Lord; that is Israel’s duty.) 122:5 For they sat there on seats in doom; seats on the house of David. (For the thrones of judgement, or of justice , be put there; yea, the thrones of the house of David.) 122:6 Pray ye those things, that be to the peace of Jerusalem; and abundance be to them that love thee. (Pray ye for the peace of Jerusalem; and say , May those who love thee prosper, or have great abundance .) 122:7 Peace be made in thy strength; and abundance in thy towers. (May there be peace within thy strongholds, or thy fortresses ; and prosperity within thy palaces.) 122:8 For my brethren and my neighbours; I spake peace of thee. (For the sake of my brothers, or my kinsmen , and my neighbours; I say, Peace be with thee.) 122:9 For the house of our Lord God; I sought goods to thee. (For the sake of the House of the Lord our God; I shall seek thy good, or thy prosperity /I shall pray for good things for thee.)
