Psalm 122
A Song of Ascents. Of David.
I rejoiced when they said to me,
"Let us go to the house of the LORD!"
Our feet are standing
within your gates, O Jerusalem.
Jerusalem, built as a city
that is bound firmly together,
to which the tribes go up,
the tribes of the LORD,
a testimony for Israel,
to give thanks to the name of the LORD.
For there were set thrones of judgment,
the thrones of the house of David.
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:
"May those who love you be secure.
May there be peace within your walls,
security within your towers."
For the sake of my family and friends,
I will say, "Peace be within you."
For the sake of the house of the LORD our God,
I will seek your good.
