Psalm 122

A Prayer for Jerusalem

A song of ascents. Of David.

1I rejoiced with those who said to me,

“Let’s go to the house of the Lord.”#Is 2:3; Mc 4:2; Zch 8:21

2Our feet were standing

within your gates, Jerusalem#Ps 9:14; Jr 7:2 —

3Jerusalem, built as a city should be,

solidly united,#Neh 4:6; Ps 147:2

4where the tribes, the Lord’s tribes, go up

to give thanks to the name of the Lord.#Is 2:3; Mc 4:2

(This is an ordinance for Israel.#1Ch 22:13)

5There, thrones for judgment are placed,

thrones of the house of David.#Dt 17:8; 2Ch 19:8

6Pray for the well-being#122:6 Or peace of Jerusalem:

“May those who love you be secure;#Ps 51:18; Jr 29:7

7may there be peace within your walls,

security within your fortresses.”#Ps 48:3

8Because of my brothers and friends,

I will say, “May peace be in you.”#122:8 = Jerusalem#1Sm 25:6; Ps 85:8

9Because of the house of the Lord our God,

I will pursue your prosperity.#Neh 2:10; Est 10:3
