Tribes Go Up (Psalm 122)

from A Long Obedience (Pilgrim Psalms, Vol. 1) by Tarblossom

/

lyrics

I joyed when to the house of God,
Go up, they said to me.
Jerusalem, within thy gates
Our feet shall standing be.

Jerus'lem a city is
Compactly built together:
To that place the tribes go up,
The tribes of God go thither:

Isr'el's testimony, there
To God's name thanks to pay.
Thrones of judgment, ev'n the thrones
Of David's house, there stay.

Pray Jerusalem may have
Peace and felicity:
Let them that love thee and thy peace
Have still prosperity.

I wish that peace may still
Within thy walls remain,
And ever may thy palaces
Prosperity retain.

For my friends' and brethren's sakes,
Peace be in thee, I'll say.
And for the house of God our Lord,
I'll seek thy good alway.

Tarblossom is the musical project of Jonathan Kleis, an electro-roots rock that mixes the fire of an Old Testament prophet with the fury of a Flannery O'Connor story. The inspiration behind Tarblossom can be found in the earthy grit of old-time Americana, the swampy spank of Delta bottleneck, and the pulsing ambience of modern electronica as a contemporary setting for ancient texts. ... more
