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.

122
In Praise of Jerusalem#Ps 122 Hebrew title: By David.
1I was glad when they said to me,
“Let us go to the LORD's house.”
2And now we are here,
standing inside the gates of Jerusalem!
3Jerusalem is a city restored
in beautiful order and harmony.
4This is where the tribes come,
the tribes of Israel,
to give thanks to the LORD
according to his command.
5Here the kings of Israel
sat to judge their people.
6Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:
“May those who love you prosper.
7May there be peace inside your walls
and safety in your palaces.”
8For the sake of my relatives and friends
I say to Jerusalem, “Peace be with you!”
9For the sake of the house of the LORD our God
I pray for your prosperity.
