Psalms 122
122
Jerusalem
A song of the stairway by King David # 122 David wrote this song for the people to sing for the feasts. It was sung when the worshipers entered the gates of Jerusalem.
1I was overjoyed when they said,
“Let’s go up to the house of the Lord.”
2And now at last we stand here, inside the very gates of Jerusalem!
3O Jerusalem, you were built as a city of praise,
where God and man mingle together. # 122:3 The Hebrew phrase “a city bound together” is taken from a root word that means “joined, united, coupled.” By inference in the context, it is the city where God dwells and man worships.
4This is where all the tribes of Yahweh are required
to come and worship him.
5This is where the thrones of kings have been established
to rule in righteousness;
even King David ruled from here.
6Pray and seek for Jerusalem’s peace,
for all who love her will prosper!
7O Jerusalem, may there be peace for those
who dwell inside your walls
and prosperity in your every palace.
8I intercede for the sake of my family and friends
who dwell there, that they may all live in peace.
9For the sake of your house, Yahweh our God,
I will seek the welfare and prosperity of Jerusalem.

Psalm 122
A song to sing as we climb.
David wrote this song.
1It made me very happy when people said to me,
‘We will go to the house of the Lord.’ #122:1 ‘The house of the Lord’ was a tent when David was alive. Later, they built a stone temple to be God's house.
2Now we have arrived!
We are standing inside your gates, Jerusalem!
3Jerusalem is a strong city where many people can meet together.
4Israel's tribes who belong to the Lord go up there. #122:4 There were 12 tribes in Israel. They were God's special people.
They go there to thank the Lord,
as he has commanded them.
5Israel's leaders sit there to judge the people.
They sit on the thrones of King David's descendants.
6Pray that there will be peace in Jerusalem.
Pray that people who love Jerusalem will be safe.
7Yes, I pray that there will be peace inside the city's walls.
I pray people will be safe in their strong houses.
8Because of my family and my friends I will pray,
‘Please let there be peace in Jerusalem.’
9Because of the house of the Lord our God,
I will pray for good things to happen in Jerusalem.
