Psalms 122

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