Psalm 122A Prayer for Jerusalem
-
I rejoiced with those who said to me, "Let's go to the house of the Lord."
-
Our feet were standing within your gates, Jerusalem--
-
Jerusalem, built as a city should be, solidly united,
-
where the tribes, the Lord's tribes, go up to give thanks to the name of the Lord. (This is an ordinance for Israel.)
-
There, thrones for judgment are placed, thrones of the house of David.
-
Pray for the well-being of Jerusalem: "May those who love you be secure;
-
may there be peace within your walls, security within your fortresses."
-
Because of my brothers and friends, I will say, "May peace be in you."
-
Because of the house of the Lord our God, I will pursue your prosperity.
