Psalms 122

Royal Kingdom

Song of Praise; and a Prayer for Jerusalem
A Song of Ascents.
Of David.

1

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

2

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

3

Jerusalem, built as a city which is bound firmly together,

4

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

5

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

6

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem! “May they prosper who love you!

7

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

8

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

9

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