<< Psalm 122 >>
GOD'S WORD ® Translation |  |
1 A song by David for going up to worship. I was glad when they said to me, "Let's go to the house of the LORD."
2 Our feet are standing inside your gates, Jerusalem.
3 Jerusalem is built to be a city where the people are united.
4 All of the LORD's tribes go to that city because it is a law in Israel to give thanks to the name of the LORD.
5 The court of justice sits there. It consists of princes who are David's descendants.
6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: "May those who love you prosper.
7 May there be peace inside your walls and prosperity in your palaces."
8 For the sake of my relatives and friends, let me say, "May it go well for you!"
9 For the sake of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek what is good for you.
