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 of the Ascents, by David.
1I have rejoiced in those saying to me, ‘To the house of Jehovah we go.’
2Our feet have been standing in thy gates, O Jerusalem!
3Jerusalem — the builded one — [Is] as a city that is joined to itself together.
4For thither have tribes gone up, Tribes of Jah, companies of Israel, To give thanks to the name of Jehovah.
5For there have sat thrones of judgment, Thrones of the house of David.
6Ask ye the peace of Jerusalem, At rest are those loving thee.
7Peace is in thy bulwark, rest in thy high places,
8For the sake of my brethren and my companions, Let me speak, I pray thee, ‘Peace [be] in thee.’
9For the sake of the house of Jehovah our God, I seek good for thee!
