• Psalm 122

  • 1 I rejoiced with those who said to me, “Let us go to the house of the Lord.”
  • 2 Our feet are standing in your gates, Jerusalem.
  • 3 Jerusalem is built like a city that is closely compacted together.
  • 4 That is where the tribes go up— the tribes of the Lord— to praise the name of the Lord according to the statute given to Israel.
  • 5 There stand the thrones for judgment, the thrones of the house of David.
  • 6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: “May those who love you be secure.
  • 7 May there be peace within your walls and security within your citadels.”
  • 8 For the sake of my family and friends, I will say, “Peace be within you.”
  • 9 For the sake of the house of the Lord our God, I will seek your prosperity.
