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.

Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem
1A Song of Ascents. Of David. I rejoiced when they said to me, “Let us go to the House of Adonai.”
2Our feet are standing in your gates, Jerusalem—
3Jerusalem, built as a city joined together.
4There the tribes go up, the tribes of Adonai —as a testimony to Israel— to praise the Name of Adonai.
5For there thrones for judgment are set up, the thrones of the house of David.
6Pray for the peace of Jerusalem— “May those who love you be at peace!
7May there be shalom within your walls— quietness within your palaces.”
8For the sake of my brothers and friends, I now say: “Shalom be within you.”
9For the sake of the House of Adonai our God, I will seek your good.
