²¹ and the inhabitants of one `city' shall go to another, saying, Let us go speedily to entreat the favor of Jehovah, and to seek Jehovah of hosts: I will go also.

² Now `they of' Beth-el had sent Sharezer and Regem-melech, and their men, to entreat the favor of Jehovah,

²² Bless Jehovah, all ye his works, In all places of his dominion: Bless Jehovah, O my soul.

¹ I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go unto the house of Jehovah.

² Our feet are standing Within thy gates, O Jerusalem,

³ Jerusalem, that art builded As a city that is compact together;

⁴ Whither the tribes go up, even the tribes of Jehovah, `For' an ordinance for Israel, To give thanks unto the name of Jehovah.

⁵ For there are set thrones for judgment, The thrones of the house of David.

⁶ Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: They shall prosper that love thee.

⁷ Peace be within thy walls, And prosperity within thy palaces.

⁸ For my brethren and companions' sakes, I will now say, Peace be within thee.

⁹ For the sake of the house of Jehovah our God I will seek thy good. Psalm 123 A Song of Ascents.

¹ Praise ye Jehovah. Praise Jehovah, O my soul.

² While I live will I praise Jehovah: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.

³ And let us know, let us follow on to know Jehovah: his going forth is sure as the morning; and he will come unto us as the rain, as the latter rain that watereth the earth.
