Psalms 122

  1. 1

    A song of ascents; by David. I was glad because they said to me, “We will go to the Lord’s temple.”

  2. 2

    Our feet are standing inside your gates, O Jerusalem.

  3. 3

    Jerusalem is a city designed to accommodate an assembly.

  4. 4

    The tribes go up there, the tribes of the Lord, where it is required that Israel give thanks to the name of the Lord.

  5. 5

    Indeed, the leaders sit there on thrones and make legal decisions, on the thrones of the house of David.

  6. 6

    Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. May those who love her prosper.

  7. 7

    May there be peace inside your defenses and prosperity inside your fortresses.

  8. 8

    For the sake of my brothers and my neighbors I will say, “May there be peace in you.”

  9. 9

    For the sake of the temple of the Lord our God I will pray for you to prosper.
