# Chapter 122
|
||
1 I rejoiced with those who said to me,
|
||
“Let’s go to the house of the Lord.”
|
||
2 Our feet were standing
|
||
within your gates, Jerusalem—
|
||
3 Jerusalem, built as a city should be,
|
||
solidly united,
|
||
4 where the tribes, the Lord’s tribes, go up
|
||
to give thanks to the name of the Lord.
|
||
(This is an ordinance for Israel.)
|
||
5 There, thrones for judgment are placed,
|
||
thrones of the house of David.
|
||
6 Pray for the well-being of Jerusalem:
|
||
“May those who love you be secure;
|
||
7 may there be peace within your walls,
|
||
security within your fortresses.”
|
||
8 Because of my brothers and friends,
|
||
I will say, “May peace be in you.”
|
||
9 Because of the house of the Lord our God,
|
||
I will pursue your prosperity. |
