Psalms 122

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 A song of ascents. Of David. I rejoiced when they said to me, "Let us go to the house of the LORD."	1 I have lifted up my eyes to the mountains, from whence help shall come to me.
2 And now our feet are standing within your gates, Jerusalem.	2 My help is from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
3 Jerusalem, built as a city, walled round about.	3 May he not suffer thy foot to be moved: neither let him slumber that keepeth thee.
4 Here the tribes have come, the tribes of the LORD, As it was decreed for Israel, to give thanks to the name of the LORD.	4 Behold he shall neither slumber nor sleep, that keepeth Israel.
5 Here are the thrones of justice, the thrones of the house of David.	5 The Lord is thy keeper, the Lord is thy protection upon thy right hand.
6 For the peace of Jerusalem pray: "May those who love you prosper!	6 The sun shall not burn thee by day: nor the moon by night.
7 May peace be within your ramparts, prosperity within your towers."	7 The Lord keepeth thee from all evil: may the Lord keep thy soul.
8 For family and friends I say, "May peace be yours."	8 May the Lord keep thy going in and thy going out; from henceforth now and for ever.
9 For the house of the LORD, our God, I pray, "May blessings be yours."
