A song of ascents, by David.
122:1 I was glad because they said to me,
“We will go to the Lord’s temple.”
122:2 Our feet are standing
inside your gates, O Jerusalem.
122:3 Jerusalem is a city designed
to accommodate an assembly.
122:4 The tribes go up there,
the tribes of the Lord,
where it is required that Israel
give thanks to the name of the Lord.
122:5 Indeed, the leaders sit there on thrones and make legal decisions,
on the thrones of the house of David.
