Psalms 122 (NIV11)
undefined 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 standingin your gates, Jerusalem. 3 Jerusalem is built like a citythat is closely compacted together. 4 That is where the tribes go up—the tribes of the LORD—to praise the name of the LORDaccording to the statute given to Israel. 5 There stand the thrones for judgment,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 wallsand security within your citadels.” 8 For the sake of my family 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.
