Tehillim (Psalms) 122
122
1I was glad when they said to me, “Let us go into the House of יהוה.”
2Our feet have been standing Within your gates, O Yerushalayim!
3Yerushalayim is built As a city that is bound together,
4Where the tribes have come up, The tribes of Yah, A witness to Yisra’ĕl, To give thanks to the Name of יהוה.
5For there the thrones of right-ruling were set, The thrones of the house of Dawiḏ.
6Pray for the peace of Yerushalayim, Let those who love You be at rest.
7Peace be within your walls, Rest in your citadels.
8For the sake of my brothers and companions, I say, “Peace be within you.”
9For the sake of the House of יהוה our Elohim I seek your good.

Psalms 122
122
1-2When they said, “Let’s go to the house of God,”
my heart leaped for joy.
And now we’re here, O Jerusalem,
inside Jerusalem’s walls!
3-5Jerusalem, well-built city,
built as a place for worship!
The city to which the tribes ascend,
all God’s tribes go up to worship,
To give thanks to the name of God—
this is what it means to be Israel.
Thrones for righteous judgment
are set there, famous David-thrones.
6-9Pray for Jerusalem’s peace!
Prosperity to all you Jerusalem-lovers!
Friendly insiders, get along!
Hostile outsiders, keep your distance!
For the sake of my family and friends,
I say it again: live in peace!
For the sake of the house of our God, God,
I’ll do my very best for you.
