Psalm 122
A Prayer for Jerusalem
A song of ascents. Of David.
1I rejoiced with those who said to me,
2Our feet were standing
3Jerusalem, built as a city should be,
4where the tribes, the Lord’s tribes, go up
(This is an ordinance for Israel.122:4 1Ch 22:13)
5There, thrones for judgment are placed,
6Pray for the well-being122:6 Or peace of Jerusalem:
7may there be peace within your walls,
security within your fortresses.”122:7 Ps 48:3
8Because of my brothers and friends,
9Because of the house of the Lord our God,
