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 pilgrimage song. Of David.
1I rejoiced with those who said to me,
“Let’s go to the LORD’s house!”
2Now our feet are standing
in your gates, Jerusalem!
3Jerusalem is built like a city
joined together in unity.
4That is where the tribes go up—
the LORD’s tribes!
It is the law for Israel
to give thanks there to the LORD’s name,
5because the thrones of justice are there—
the thrones of the house of David!
6Pray that Jerusalem has peace:
“Let those who love you have rest.
7Let there be peace on your walls;
let there be rest on your fortifications.”
8For the sake of my family and friends,
I say, “Peace be with you, Jerusalem.”
9For the sake of the LORD our God’s house
I will pray for your good.
