Psalm 122

A pilgrimage song. Of David.

122 I rejoiced with those who said to me,
    “Let’s go to the Lord’s house!”
2 Now our feet are standing
    in your gates, Jerusalem!
3 Jerusalem is built like a city
    joined together in unity.
4 That is where the tribes go up—
    the Lord’s tribes!
It is the law for Israel
    to give thanks there to the Lord’s name,
5     because the thrones of justice are there—
    the thrones of the house of David!
6 Pray that Jerusalem has peace:
    “Let those who love you have rest.
7     Let there be peace on your walls;
    let there be rest on your fortifications.”
8 For the sake of my family and friends,
    I say, “Peace be with you, Jerusalem.”
9 For the sake of the Lord our God’s house
    I will pray for your good.
