Psalms Chapter[BR] 122

1 *A Davidic song of ascents. I rejoiced with those who said to me, "Let us go to the house of the LORD."

2 Our feet are standing within your gates, Jerusalem--

3 Jerusalem, built as a city *should be , solidly joined together,

Psalms Chapter[BR] 122

4 where the tribes, the tribes of the LORD, go up to give thanks to the name of the LORD. (This is an ordinance for Israel.)

5 There, thrones for judgment are placed, thrones of the house of David.

6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: "May those who love you prosper;

7 may there be peace within your walls, prosperity within your fortresses."

Psalms Chapter[BR] 122

8 Because of my brothers and friends, I will say, "Peace be with you."

9 Because of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek your good.
