Psalms 122

¹I was glad when they said to me, “Let us go to the house of the LORD.” ²Our feet are standing in your gates, O Jerusalem. ³Jerusalem is built up as a city united together, ⁴where the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, as a testimony for Israel, to give thanks to the name of the LORD. ⁵For there the thrones of judgment stand, the thrones of the house of David. ⁶Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: “May those who love you prosper. ⁷May there be peace within your walls, and prosperity inside your fortresses.” ⁸For the sake of my brothers and friends, I will say, “Peace be within you.” ⁹For the sake of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek your prosperity.
