Psalms 122

Gen Z Version

Modern paraphrase

1I was vibin' when they said, "Let's hit up the Lord's house."

2Our feet are ready to step inside your gates, O Jerusalem.

3Jerusalem's built tight, like a city that just hits different.

4The tribes roll up, the tribes of the Lord, to give thanks to the name of the Lord, no cap.

5They got thrones set up for judgment, the thrones of David's fam.

6Pray for Jerusalem's peace: those who love you are gonna thrive, fr.

7Vibes of peace in your walls, and good fortune in your palaces, periodt.

8For my fam and crew's sake, I'm sayin', "Peace be within you."

9'Cause of the Lord our God's house, I'm all about seeking your good.

King James Version

Traditional translation

1I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the Lord.

2Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem.

3Jerusalem is builded as a city that is compact together:

4Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of the Lord, unto the testimony of Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the Lord.

5For there are set thrones of judgment, the thrones of the house of David.

6Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.

7Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces.

8For my brethren and companions’ sakes, I will now say, Peace be within thee.

9Because of the house of the Lord our God I will seek thy good.
