Psalm 122A song of ascents. Of David.
1
I rejoiced with those who said to me,
“Let us go to the house of the Lord.”
2
Our feet are standing
in your gates, Jerusalem.
3
Jerusalem is built like a city
that is closely compacted together.
4
That is where the tribes go up—
the tribes of the Lord—
to praise the name of the Lord
according to the statute given to Israel.
5
There stand the thrones for judgment,
the thrones of the house of David.
6
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:
“May those who love you be secure.
7
May there be peace within your walls
and security within your citadels.”
8
For the sake of my family and friends,
I will say, “Peace be within you.”
9
For the sake of the house of the Lord our God,
I will seek your prosperity.
