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 judgement 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.
