Psalm 122

A Song of Ascents. Of David.

¹I was glad when they said to me,
“Let us go to the house of the Lord!”

²Our feet have been standing
within your gates, O Jerusalem!

³Jerusalem—built as a city
that is bound firmly together,

⁴to which the tribes go up,
the tribes of the Lord,
as was decreed for Israel,
to give thanks to the name of the Lord.

⁵There thrones for judgment were set,
the thrones of the house of David.

⁶ Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!
“May they be secure who love you!

⁷Peace be within your walls
and security within your towers!”

⁸For my brothers and companions’ sake
I will say, “Peace be within you!”

⁹For the sake of the house of the Lord our God,
I will seek your good.
