PSALM 122

 A 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.
