A Song of Degrees, [a.k.a. Steps, by] David. |
Psalm 122:1-9 Book# 5 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks] |
I was glad when they said to me, Let us go into the [Lord's] house. [Zechariah 8:21 And the inhabitants of one city, shall go to another, saying, Let us speedily go to pray before the Lord & to seek the Lord of Hosts. I will also go.] |
Our feet shall stand within your gates, O Jerusalem. Jerusalem is [rebuilt like] a city that is [joined] together: [where] the tribes of the Lord go up, to the Testimony of Israel, to give thanks to the Name of the Lord. [Exodus 25:21 And you shall put the mercy set above upon the Ark & in the Ark, you shall put the Testimony that I shall give you.] |
For there are [put] thrones of [justice,] the thrones of the house of David. [2 Chronicles 19:8 [Additionally,] Jehoshaphat did [appoint from:] the Levites, priests & [leaders] of the [forefather's families] of Israel, in Jerusalem, for the judgment of the Lord & for controversies, when they returned to Jerusalem.] |
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. [Those who] love You shall prosper. [May] peace be within your walls & prosperity within your palaces. I will now say, Peace be within you: for my brethren & companions' sakes. I will seek your [well-being,] because of the house of the Lord our God. |
