Psalms 122
122
Jerusalem
A song of the stairway by King David # 122 David wrote this song for the people to sing for the feasts. It was sung when the worshipers entered the gates of Jerusalem.
1I was overjoyed when they said,
“Let’s go up to the house of the Lord.”
2And now at last we stand here, inside the very gates of Jerusalem!
3O Jerusalem, you were built as a city of praise,
where God and man mingle together. # 122:3 The Hebrew phrase “a city bound together” is taken from a root word that means “joined, united, coupled.” By inference in the context, it is the city where God dwells and man worships.
4This is where all the tribes of Yahweh are required
to come and worship him.
5This is where the thrones of kings have been established
to rule in righteousness;
even King David ruled from here.
6Pray and seek for Jerusalem’s peace,
for all who love her will prosper!
7O Jerusalem, may there be peace for those
who dwell inside your walls
and prosperity in your every palace.
8I intercede for the sake of my family and friends
who dwell there, that they may all live in peace.
9For the sake of your house, Yahweh our God,
I will seek the welfare and prosperity of Jerusalem.

A song for pilgrims ascending to Jerusalem. A psalm of David.
1I was glad when they said to me,
“Let us go to the house of the Lord.”
2And now here we are,
standing inside your gates, O Jerusalem.
3Jerusalem is a well-built city;
its seamless walls cannot be breached.
4All the tribes of Israel—the Lord’s people—
make their pilgrimage here.
They come to give thanks to the name of the Lord,
as the law requires of Israel.
5Here stand the thrones where judgment is given,
the thrones of the dynasty of David.
6Pray for peace in Jerusalem.
May all who love this city prosper.
7O Jerusalem, may there be peace within your walls
and prosperity in your palaces.
8For the sake of my family and friends, I will say,
“May you have peace.”
9For the sake of the house of the Lord our God,
I will seek what is best for you, O Jerusalem.
