Psalms 122
1 A Song of Ascents. Of David. I was glad when they said to me, “Let us go to the house of the LORD.”
2 Our feet are already standing within your gates, Jerusalem.
3 Jerusalem is built like a city tightly joined together.
4 There the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD—a testimony for Israel—to give thanks to the name of the LORD.
5 For there the thrones of judgment stand, the thrones of the house of David.
6 Ask for peace for Jerusalem: may those who love you live in peace.
7 May there be peace within your walls and calm within your palaces.
8 For the sake of my brothers and my friends, I will say, “Peace be within you.”
9 For the sake of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek your good.
