Read Psalms 121-123

 Psalm 122 (Darby Translation)

¹ I rejoiced when they said unto me, let us go into the house of Jehovah.

² Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem.

³ Jerusalem, which art built as a city that is compact together,

⁴ Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of Jah, a testimony to Israel, to give thanks unto the name of Jehovah.

⁵ For there are set thrones for judgment, the thrones of the house of David.

⁶ Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.

⁷ Peace be within thy bulwarks, prosperity within thy palaces.

⁸ For my brethren and companions' sakes I will say, “Peace be within thee!”

⁹ Because of the house of Jehovah our God I will seek thy good.
