Psalm 122
Prayer for the Peace of Jerusalem.
A Song of #122:0 See Psalm 120 title note.Ascents. Of David.
1I was glad when they said to me,
“Let us go to the house of the Lord.” [Is 2:3; Zech 8:21]
2Our feet are standing
Within your gates, O Jerusalem,
3Jerusalem, that is built
As a city that is firmly joined together;
4To which the [twelve] tribes go up, even the tribes of the Lord,
[As was decreed as] an ordinance for Israel,
To give thanks to the name of the Lord.
5For there the thrones of judgment were set,
The thrones of the house of David.
6¶Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:
“May they prosper who love you [holy city].
7“May peace be within your walls
And prosperity within your palaces.”
8For the sake of my brothers and my friends,
I will now say, “May peace be within you.”
9For the sake of the house of the Lord our God [which is Jerusalem],
I will seek your (the city’s) good.

Psalms 122
122
Psalm 122
A song by David for going up to worship.
1I was glad when they said to me,
“Let’s go to the house of the Lord.”
2Our feet are standing inside your gates, Jerusalem.
3Jerusalem is built to be a city
where the people are united.
4All of the Lord’s tribes go to that city
because it is a law in Israel
to give thanks to the name of the Lord.
5The court of justice sits there.
It consists of ⌞princes who are⌟ David’s descendants.
6Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:
“May those who love you prosper.
7May there be peace inside your walls
and prosperity in your palaces.”
8For the sake of my relatives and friends, let me say,
“May it go well for you!”
9For the sake of the house of the Lord our God,
I will seek what is good for you.
