Psalms 122
Prayer for the Peace of Jerusalem.
1 I was glad when they said to me,
"Let us (C1)go to the house of the LORD." (VR1)
2 Our feet are standing
Within your (C1)gates, O Jerusalem,
3 Jerusalem, that is (C1)built
As a city that is (C2)firmly joined together;
4 To which the twelve tribes (C1)go up, even the tribes of the LORD,
As was decreed as an ordinance for Israel,
To give thanks to the name of the LORD.
5 For there the (C1)thrones of judgment were set,
The thrones of the house of David.
6 Pray for the (C1)peace of Jerusalem:
"May they prosper who (C2)love you holy city.
7 "May peace be within your (C1)walls
And prosperity within your (C2)palaces."
8 For the sake of my (C1)brothers and my friends,
I will now say, "(C2)May peace be within you."
9 For the sake of the house of the LORD our God which is Jerusalem,
I will (C1)seek your (the city's) good.
