14 That I may shew forth all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in thy salvation.
14 that I may declare your praises in the gates of Daughter Zion, and there rejoice in your salvation.
14 that I may recount all your praises, that in the gates of the daughter of Zion I may rejoice in your salvation.
14 I'll write the book on Hallelujahs; on the corner of Main and First I'll hold a street meeting; I'll be the song leader; we'll fill the air with salvation songs.
14 That I may tell of all Your praise In the gates of the daughter of Zion. I will rejoice in Your salvation.
14 Save me so I can praise you publicly at Jerusalem's gates, so I can rejoice that you have rescued me.
2 Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem.
2 Our feet are standing in your gates, Jerusalem.
2 Our feet have been standing within your gates, O Jerusalem!
2 And now we're here, O Jerusalem, inside Jerusalem's walls!
2 Our feet have been standing Within your gates, O Jerusalem!
2 And now here we are, standing inside your gates, OÂ Jerusalem.
(Read Psalm 122:1-5)
The pleasure and profit from means of grace, should make us disregard trouble and fatigue in going to them; and we should quicken one another to what is good. We should desire our Christian friends, when they have any good work in hand, to call for us, and take us with them. With what readiness should we think of the heavenly Jerusalem! How cheerfully should we bear the cross and welcome death, in hopes of a crown of glory! Jerusalem is called the beautiful city. It was a type of the gospel church, which is compact together in holy love and Christian communion, so that it is all as one city. If all the disciples of Christ were of one mind, and kept the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace, their enemies would be deprived of their chief advantages against them. But Satan's maxim always has been, to divide that he may conquer; and few Christians are sufficiently aware of his designs.

Commentary on Psalm 9:11-20
(Read Psalm 9:11-20)
Those who believe that God is greatly to be praised, not only desire to praise him better themselves, but desire that others may join with them. There is a day coming, when it will appear that he has not forgotten the cry of the humble; neither the cry of their blood, or the cry of their prayers. We are never brought so low, so near to death, but God can raise us up. If he has saved us from spiritual and eternal death, we may thence hope, that in all our distresses he will be a very present help to us. The overruling providence of God frequently so orders it, that persecutors and oppressors are brought to ruin by the projects they formed to destroy the people of God. Drunkards kill themselves; prodigals beggar themselves; the contentious bring mischief upon themselves: thus men's sins may be read in their punishment, and it becomes plain to all, that the destruction of sinners is of themselves. All wickedness came originally with the wicked one from hell; and those who continue in sin, must go to that place of torment. The true state, both of nations and of individuals, may be correctly estimated by this one rule, whether in their doings they remember or forget God. David encourages the people of God to wait for his salvation, though it should be long deferred. God will make it appear that he never did forget them: it is not possible he should. Strange that man, dust in his and about him, should yet need some sharp affliction, some severe visitation from God, to bring him to the knowledge of himself, and make him feel who and what he is.
