New Living Translation
Psalms • Chapter 122
1
I was glad when they said to me,<br>“Let us go to the house of the LORD.”<br>
2
And now here we are,<br>standing inside your gates, O Jerusalem.<br>
3
Jerusalem is a well-built city;<br>its seamless walls cannot be breached.<br>
4
All the tribes of Israel — the LORD’s people —<br>make their pilgrimage here.<br>They come to give thanks to the name of the LORD,<br>as the law requires of Israel.<br>
5
Here stand the thrones where judgment is given,<br>the thrones of the dynasty of David.<br>
6
Pray for peace in Jerusalem.<br>May all who love this city prosper.<br>
7
O Jerusalem, may there be peace within your walls<br>and prosperity in your palaces.<br>
8
For the sake of my family and friends, I will say,<br>“May you have peace.”<br>
9
For the sake of the house of the LORD our God (Elohim),<br>I will seek what is best for you, O Jerusalem.<br>
