English Standard Version

Let Us Go to the House of the Lord

A Song of (A)Ascents. Of David.

122 I was glad when they said to me,
    (B)“Let us go to the house of the Lord!”
2 Our feet have been standing
    within your gates, O Jerusalem!

3 Jerusalem—(C)built as a city
    that is (D)bound firmly together,
4 to which the tribes (E)go up,
    the tribes of the Lord,
as was (F)decreed for[a] Israel,
    to give thanks to the name of the Lord.
5 There (G)thrones for judgment were set,
    the thrones of the house of David.

6 (H)Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!
    “May they be secure who love you!
7 Peace be within your (I)walls
    and security within your (J)towers!”
8 For my brothers and companions' sake
    I will say, (K)“Peace be within you!”
9 For the sake of the house of the Lord our God,
    I will (L)seek your good.

A song of ascents. Of David.

1 I rejoiced with those who said to me,
    “Let us go to the house of the Lord.”
2 Our feet are standing

to praise the name of the Lord
    according to the statute given to Israel.

6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:
    “May those who love(A) you be secure.

    and security within your citadels.(C)”
8 For the sake of my family and friends,
    I will say, “Peace be within you.”

English Standard Version

Our Eyes Look to the Lord Our God

A Song of (A)Ascents.

123 To you I (B)lift up my eyes,
    O you who are (C)enthroned in the heavens!
2 Behold, as the eyes of servants
    look to the hand of their master,
as the eyes of a maidservant
    to the hand of her mistress,
so our eyes look to the Lord our God,
    till he has mercy upon us.

3 (D)Have mercy upon us, O Lord, have mercy upon us,
    for we have had more than enough of (E)contempt.
4 Our soul has had more than enough
    of (F)the scorn of (G)those who are at ease,
    of the contempt of (H)the proud.

A song of ascents.

1 I lift up my eyes to you,
    to you who sit enthroned(A) in heaven.
2 As the eyes of slaves look to the hand of their master,
    as the eyes of a female slave look to the hand of her mistress,
so our eyes look to the Lord(B) our God,
    till he shows us his mercy.

3 Have mercy on us, Lord, have mercy on us,
    for we have endured no end of contempt.
4 We have endured no end
    of ridicule from the arrogant,
    of contempt from the proud.
