Psalms 122

¹A song of ascents. Of David. I rejoiced in those who said to me, “Let us go to the house of Yahweh.” ²Our feet are standing within your gates, O Jerusalem— ³Jerusalem that is built as a city that is joined together, ⁴where the tribes go up, the tribes of Yah as a testimony for Israel, to give thanks to the name of Yahweh. ⁵For there the thrones sit for judgment, thrones of David’s house. ⁶Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: “May those who love you be at ease. ⁷May peace be within your walls, security within your palaces.” ⁸For the sake of my brothers and my friends, I will say, “Peace be within you.” ⁹For the sake of the house of Yahweh our God, I will seek your good.
