Psalms 122
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1A Song of Ascents; of David. I rejoiced when they said unto me: 'Let us go unto the house of the LORD.'
1To thee have I lifted up my eyes, who dwellest in heaven.
2Our feet are standing within thy gates, O Jerusalem;
2Behold as the eyes of the servants are on the hands of their masters, As the eyes of the handmaid are on the hands of her mistress: so are our eyes unto the Lord our God, until he have mercy on us.
3Jerusalem, that art builded as a city that is compact together;
3Have mercy on us, O Lord, have mercy on us: for we are greatly filled with contempt.
4Whither the tribes went up, even the tribes of the LORD, as a testimony unto Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the LORD.
4For our soul is greatly filled: we are a reproach to the rich, and contempt to the proud.
5For there were set thrones for judgment, the thrones of the house of David.
