Introduction
The satisfaction of a gracious soul in the use of God's ordinances, Psa 122:1, Psa 122:2. Description of the internal governmentof Jerusalem, Psa 122:3-5. Prayers for its peace and prosperity, Psa 122:6-9. In the preceding Psalms we find the poor captives crying to God for deliverance; here they are returning thanks that they find they are permitted to return to their own land and to the ordinances of their God. Verse 1 I was glad when they said - When Cyrus published an edict for their return, the very first object of their thanksgiving was the kindness of God in permitting them to return to his ordinances.Adam Clarke, 1831 · public domain
