Psalms 122

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	NEW JERUSALEM
1 A Canticle in steps. I have lifted up my eyes to you, who dwells in the heavens.	1 [Song of Ascents Of David] I rejoiced that they said to me, 'Let us go to the house of Yahweh.'
2 Behold, 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 our eyes are upon the Lord our God, until he may be merciful to us.	2 At last our feet are standing at your gates, Jerusalem!
3 Have mercy on us, O Lord, have mercy on us. For we have been filled with utter disdain.	3 Jerusalem, built as a city, in one united whole,
4 For our soul has been greatly filled. We are the disgrace of those who have abundance and the disdain of the arrogant.	4 there the tribes go up, the tribes of Yahweh, a sign for Israel to give thanks to the name of Yahweh.
	5 For there are set the thrones of judgement, the thrones of the house of David.
	6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem, prosperity for your homes!
	7 Peace within your wal s, prosperity in your palaces!
	8 For love of my brothers and my friends I wil say, 'Peace upon you!'
	9 For love of the house of Yahweh our God I wil pray for your wel -being.
