Psalm 122

[1] I was glad when they said to me,
"Let us go to the house of the LORD!"
[2] Our feet are standing
within your gates, O Jerusalem.

[3] Jerusalem -- built as a city
that is bound firmly together.
[4] To it the tribes go up,
the tribes of the LORD,
as was decreed for Israel,
to give thanks to the name of the LORD.
[5] For there the thrones for judgment were set up,
the thrones of the house of David.

[6] Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:
"May they prosper who love you.
[7] Peace be within your walls,
and security within your towers."
[8] For the sake of my relatives and friends
I will say, "Peace be within you."
[9] For the sake of the house of the LORD our God,
I will seek your good.
