# Chapter 122
|
||
1 I was glad when they said to me,
|
||
“Let us go to the house of the Lord.”
|
||
2 And now here we are,
|
||
standing inside your gates, O Jerusalem.
|
||
3 Jerusalem is a well-built city;
|
||
its seamless walls cannot be breached.
|
||
4 All the tribes of Israel—the Lord’s people—
|
||
make their pilgrimage here.
|
||
They come to give thanks to the name of the Lord,
|
||
as the law requires of Israel.
|
||
5 Here stand the thrones where judgment is given,
|
||
the thrones of the dynasty of David.
|
||
6 Pray for peace in Jerusalem.
|
||
May all who love this city prosper.
|
||
7 O Jerusalem, may there be peace within your walls
|
||
and prosperity in your palaces.
|
||
8 For the sake of my family and friends, I will say,
|
||
“May you have peace.”
|
||
9 For the sake of the house of the Lord our God,
|
||
I will seek what is best for you, O Jerusalem. |
