Psalm 122

122:1

A song of ascents. Of David. I was glad when they said to me, “Let us go to the house of the LORD.”

122:2

Our feet are standing in your gates, O Jerusalem.

122:3

Jerusalem is built up as a city united together,

122:4

where the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, as a testimony for Israel, to give thanks to the name of the LORD.

122:5

For there the thrones of judgment stand, the thrones of the house of David.

122:6

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: “May those who love you prosper.

122:7

May there be peace within your walls, and prosperity inside your fortresses.”

122:8

For the sake of my brothers and friends, I will say, “Peace be within you.”

122:9

For the sake of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek your prosperity.
