The Book of PsalmsPsalm 121
The Catholic Public Domain Version numbers the Psalms as the Latin Vulgate does. In Bibles translated from the Hebrew this is Psalm 122. Read Psalm 122 in the WEBC.
121A Canticle in steps. I rejoiced in the things that were said to me: “We shall go into the house of the Lord.”
2Our feet were standing in your courts, O Jerusalem.
3Jerusalem has been built as a city, whose participation is unto itself.
4For to that place, the tribes ascended, the tribes of the Lord: the testimony of Israel, to confess to the name of the Lord.
5For in that place, seats have sat down in judgment, seats above the house of David.
6Petition for the things that are for the peace of Jerusalem, and for abundance for those who love you.
7Let peace be in your virtue, and abundance in your towers.
8For the sake of my brothers and my neighbors, I spoke peace about you.
9For the sake of the house of the Lord our God, I sought good things for you.
