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
1 The song of degrees of David. I am glad in these things, that be said to me; We shall go into the house of the Lord.
2Our feet were standing; in thy halls or foreyards, thou Jerusalem.
3Jerusalem, which is builded as a city; whose partaking thereof is into the same thing.
4For the lineages, the lineages of the Lord, ascended [or went up] thither, the witnessing of Israel; to acknowl-edge to the name of the Lord.
5For they sat there on seats in doom; seats on the house of David.
6Pray ye those things, that be to the peace of Jerusalem; and abundance be to them that love thee.
7Peace be made in thy strength; and abundance in thy towers.
8For my brethren and my neigh-bours; I spake peace of thee.
9For the house of our Lord God; I sought goods to thee.
