Psalms 122

   |   

In Praise of Jerusalem[a]

1 I was glad when they said to me,
    "Let us go to the Lord's house."
2 And now we are here,
    standing inside the gates of Jerusalem!

3 Jerusalem is a city restored
    in beautiful order and harmony.
4 This is where the tribes come,
    the tribes of Israel,
to give thanks to the Lord
    according to his command.
5 Here the kings of Israel
    sat to judge their people.

6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:
    "May those who love you prosper.
7     May there be peace inside your walls
    and safety in your palaces."
8 For the sake of my relatives and friends
    I say to Jerusalem, "Peace be with you!"
9 For the sake of the house of the Lord our God
    I pray for your prosperity.
