¹ Psalm 122 A song of ascents. Of David. ¹ I rejoiced with those who said to me, "Let us go to the house of the LORD." ² Our feet are standing in your gates, O Jerusalem. ³ Jerusalem is built like a city that is closely compacted together. ⁴ That is where the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, to praise the name of the LORD according to the statute given to Israel. ⁵ There the thrones for judgment stand, the thrones of the house of David. ⁶ Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: "May those who love you be secure. ⁷ May there be peace within your walls and security within your citadels." ⁸ For the sake of my brothers 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 prosperity.
