A church father on this verse
“"Jerusalem that is being built as a city" (ver. 3). Brethren, when David was uttering these words, that city had been finished, it was not being built. It is some city he speaketh of, therefore, which is now being built, unto which living stones run in faith, of whom Peter saith, "Ye also, as lively stones, are built…”

In context
1A Song of Degrees. Unto thee who dwellest in heaven Have I lifted up mine eyes.
2Behold, as the eyes of servants are directed to the hands of their masters, And as the eyes of a maidservant to the hands of her mistress; So our eyes are directed to the Lord our God, Until he have mercy upon us.
— Psalms 122:3 —
4Yea, our soul has been exceedingly filled with it: Let the reproach be to them that are at ease, And contempt to the proud.
