<Psalm 122

[1] I was glad when they said to me, “Let’s go to the LORD’s house!”

[2] Our feet are standing within your gates, Jerusalem,

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

[4] where the tribes go up, even the LORD’s tribes, according to an ordinance for Israel, to give thanks to the LORD’s name.

[5] For there are set thrones for judgment, the thrones of David’s house.

[6] Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Those who love you will prosper.

[7] Peace be within your walls, and prosperity within your palaces.

[8] For my brothers’ and companions’ sakes, I will now say, “Peace be within you.”

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