Listen to Psalm 122: 1,2,3 of the Book of Praise: Download MP3 (requires an MP3 player) PSALM 122 (Geneva, 1551)
1. How glad I was when unto me
They said "Let us with one accord
Go to the temple of the LORD,
There to adore His majesty."
Jerusalem, where blessing waits,
Out feet are standing in your gates
Here shall we bring our supplication.
Jerusalem is built so well:
It is the pride of Israel;
Securely knit arc its foundations.
2. As was decreed for Israel,
The tribes assemble from abroad
With thanks unto the Name of God,
For there His holy presence dwells.
The seats for judgment are therein,
The thrones of David's royal kin;
There sit the rulers of the nation.
Prosperity be unto them
That love you, O Jerusalem,
Who make your peace their supplication.
3. Let peace be found within your walls
And in your palaces repose;
May blessings be conferred on those
Who dwell within your favoured hails.
For friends and brethren I will say,
"Let peace abide in you for aye;
May nought disturb you now or ever."
By reason of God's temple fair
And for the mercy proffered there,
I will invoke your good for ever.
