Psalms
The Psalter is Israel’s hymnbook: lament, praise, thanksgiving, royal psalms, and wisdom. It trains the heart to speak to God in trouble and in joy, and it points ahead to the Messiah.
American King James
Psalms 122
1¶ A song of degrees of David. I was glad when they said to me, Let us go into the house of the LORD. 2Our feet shall stand within your gates, O Jerusalem. 3Jerusalem is built as a city that is compact together: 4Where the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, to the testimony of Israel, to give thanks to the name of the LORD. 5For there are set thrones of judgment, the thrones of the house of David. 6Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love you. 7Peace be within your walls, and prosperity within your palaces. 8For my brothers and companions’ sakes, I will now say, Peace be within you. 9Because of the house of the LORD our God I will seek your good.
