Psalm 122
122
A Prayer for the Peace of Jerusalem
A Song of degrees of David.
1I was glad when they said unto me,
Let us go into the house of the Lord.
2Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem.
3Jerusalem is builded as a city that is compact together:
4whither the tribes go up,
the tribes of the Lord,
unto the testimony of Israel,
to give thanks unto the name of the Lord.
5For there are set thrones of judgment,
the thrones of the house of David.
6Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:
they shall prosper that love thee.
7Peace be within thy walls,
and prosperity within thy palaces.
8For my brethren and companions' sakes,
I will now say, Peace be within thee.
9Because of the house of the Lord our God
I will seek thy 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.
