Psalms 122:3

Jerusalem is builded as a city that is compact together:

Jerusalem is builded as a city that is compact together - the admiring language of the pilgrims. The article in the Hebrew favours the translation, 'Jerusalem, the builded one (the well-built one (Junius and Tremellius): so , "Babylon that I have built" - i:e., made into a well-built city, for it had stood a long while before), as a city that is compact together!' (that realizes the idea of such a city, ; ). The reference is to the junction together of the lower city nod the fortress by the 'walls,' and to the 'palaces,' wherewith he adorned the whole (cf. ). In all this David sees (here, ) a token of God's favour toward Jerusalem (; ).
