Psalm 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.
