Psalms 122:1-4
112I was glad because they said to me, “We will go to the Lord’s temple.”
2Our feet are standing inside your gates, O Jerusalem.
3Jerusalem is a city designed to accommodate an assembly.
4The tribes go up there, the tribes of the Lord, where it is required that Israel give thanks to the name of the Lord.
Notes
- 1. Psalms 122:1 Psalm 122. The psalmist expresses his love for Jerusalem and promises to pray for the city’s security. ↩
- 2. Psalms 122:1 The precise significance of this title, which appears in Pss 120-134, is unclear. Perhaps worshipers recited these psalms when they ascended the road to Jerusalem to celebrate annual religious festivals. For a discussion of their background see L. C. Allen, Psalms 101-150 (WBC), 219-21. ↩
