<Psalms 122

[1] I was glad when they said to me, “Let us go to the house of the LORD.”

[2] Our feet are standing Within your gates, O Jerusalem,

[3] Jerusalem, that is built As a city that is compact together;

[4] To which the tribes go up, even the tribes of the LORD— An ordinance for Israel— To give thanks to the name of the LORD.

[5] For there thrones were set for judgment, The thrones of the house of David.

[6] Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: “May they prosper who love you.

[7] May peace be within your walls, And prosperity within your palaces.”

[8] For the sake of my brothers and my friends, I will now say, “May peace be within you.”

[9] For the sake of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek your good.
