A Song of Ascents. Of David.

122 I was glad when they said to me,
“Let us go to the house of the Lord!”
²Our feet have been standing

³Jerusalem, built as a city
    which is bound firmly together,
⁴to which the tribes go up,
    the tribes of the Lord,
as was decreed for Israel,
    to give thanks to the name of the Lord.
⁵There thrones for judgment were set,
    the thrones of the house of David.
