122 1 David rejoiceth in the name of the faithful, that God hath accomplished his promise and placed his Ark in Zion. 5 For the which he giveth thanks, 8 And prayeth for the prosperity of the Church.

A song of degrees, or Psalm of David.

I (A)[a]rejoiced when they said to me, We will go into the house of the Lord.

Our [b]feet shall stand in thy gates, O Jerusalem.

Jerusalem is built as a city, that is [c]compact together in itself:

Whereunto [d]the Tribes, even the Tribes of the Lord go up according to the testimony to Israel, to praise the Name of the Lord.
