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.

Psalms 122
122
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.
