Psalms 122-124
Chapter 122
Psalm 122
A Prayer for Jerusalem
A Davidic song of ascents.
1 I rejoiced with those who said to me,
"Let us go to the house of the
Lord
."(a)
2 Our feet are standing
within your gates, Jerusalem(b)—
3 Jerusalem, built as a city should be,
solidly joined together,(c)
4 where the tribes, Yahweh's tribes, go up
to give thanks to the name of Yahweh.(d)
(This is an ordinance for Israel.(e))
5 There, thrones for judgment are placed,
thrones of the house of David.(f)
6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:
"May those who love you prosper;(g)
7 may there be peace within your walls,
prosperity within your fortresses."(h)
8 Because of my brothers and friends,
I will say, "Peace be with you."(i)
9 Because of the house of the
Lord
our God,
I will seek your good.(j)
Chapter 123
Psalm 123
Looking for God's Favor
A song of ascents.
1 I lift my eyes to You,
the One enthroned in heaven.(a)
2 Like a servant's eyes on his master's hand,
like a servant girl's eyes on her mistress's hand,
so our eyes are on the
Lord
our God
until He shows us favor.(b)
3 Show us favor,
Lord
, show us favor,
for we've had more than enough contempt.(c)
4 We've had more than enough
scorn from the arrogant
and contempt from the proud.(d)
Chapter 124
Psalm 124
The Lord Is on Our Side
A Davidic song of ascents.
1 If the
Lord
had not been on our side—
let Israel say—
2 If the
Lord
had not been on our side(a)
when men attacked us,(b)
3 then they would have swallowed us alive
in their burning anger against us.(c)
4 Then the waters would have engulfed us;
the torrent would have swept over us;
5 the raging waters would have swept over us.(d)
6 Praise the
Lord
,
who has not let us be ripped apart by their teeth.(e)
7 We have escaped like a bird from the hunter's net;
the net is torn, and we have escaped.(f)
8 Our help is in the name of Yahweh,
the Maker of heaven and earth.(g)
