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.
