i was glad when they said unto me

The phrase "I was glad when they said unto me" is the opening of Psalm 122 in the Bible. The full verse (Psalm 122:1, KJV) reads: "I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORD." This verse expresses joy at the invitation to worship together at the house of God. If you want, I can provide more context or the entire Psalm 122 for you. Would you like that?
