LXX2012: Septuagint in British/International English 2012

Psalm 121

(122) A Song of Degrees.

I was glad when they said to me, Let us go into the house of the Lord.

Our feet stood in your courts, O Jerusalem.

Jerusalem is built as a city whose fellowship is complete.

For there the tribes went up, the tribes of the Lord, as a testimony for Israel, to give thanks to the name of the Lord.

For there are set thrones for judgement, even thrones for the house of David. 1

Pray now for the peace of Jerusalem: and let there be prosperity to them that love you.

Let peace, I pray, be within your host, and prosperity in your palaces.

For the sake of my brethren and my neighbours, I have indeed spoken peace concerning you.

Because of the house of the Lord our God, I have diligently sought your good.
