Psalms 122 (TFTU)
1 I was glad/happy when people said to me,“We should go to the temple of Yahweh in Jerusalem!” 2 And now we are here,standing inside the gates/city of [APO] Jerusalem. 3 Jerusalem is a city that has been rebuilt,with the result that people can gather together in it. 4 We people of the tribes of Israel who belong to Yahweh can now go up thereas Yahweh commanded that we should do,and we can thank him. 5 There the kings of Israel who were descendants of King David sit on their thronesand decide cases fairly when the people have disputes. 6 Pray that there will be peace in Jerusalem;I desire that those who love Jerusalem will ◄prosper/live peacefully►. 7 I desire that there will be peace inside the walls of the cityand that people who are inside the palaces will be safe. 8 For the sake of my relatives and friends, I say,“My desire is that that inside Jerusalem people will live peacefully.” 9 And because I love the temple of Yahweh our God,I pray that things will go well for the people who live in Jerusalem.
