Psalm 122

A Song of Ascents. By David.

122 I was glad when they said to me,

    “Let’s go to Yahweh’s house!”

2 Our feet are standing within your gates, Jerusalem,

3 Jerusalem, that is built as a city that is compact together,

4 where the tribes go up, even Yah’s tribes,

    according to an ordinance for Israel,

    to give thanks to Yahweh’s name.

5 For there are set thrones for judgment,

    the thrones of David’s house.

6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.

    Those who love you will prosper.

7 Peace be within your walls,

    and prosperity within your palaces.

8 For my brothers’ and companions’ sakes,

    I will now say, “Peace be within you.”

9 For the sake of the house of Yahweh our God,

    I will seek your good.
