Psalms 122
Chapter 122 of 150
1 A Pilgrim’s Prayer for Jerusalem. A song of ascents. Of David. I rejoiced when they said to me, “Let us go to the house of the Lord.”
2 And now our feet are standing within your gates, Jerusalem.
3 Jerusalem, built as a city, walled round about.
4 There the tribes go up, the tribes of the Lord, As it was decreed for Israel, to give thanks to the name of the Lord.
5 There are the thrones of justice, the thrones of the house of David.
6 For the peace of Jerusalem pray: “May those who love you prosper!
7 May peace be within your ramparts, prosperity within your towers.”
8 For the sake of my brothers and friends I say, “Peace be with you.”
9 For the sake of the house of the Lord, our God, I pray for your good.
