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.

1A song of ascents. By David:
I was glad when they said to me,
“The house of Adonai! Let’s go!”
2Our feet were already standing
at your gates, Yerushalayim.
3Yerushalayim, built as a city
fostering friendship and unity.
4The tribes have gone up there, the tribes of Adonai,
as a witness to Isra’el,
to give thanks to the name of Adonai.
5For there the thrones of justice were set up,
the thrones of the house of David.
6Pray for shalom in Yerushalayim;
may those who love you prosper.
7May shalom be within your ramparts,
prosperity in your palaces.
8For the sake of my family and friends, I say,
“Shalom be within you!”
9For the sake of the house of Adonai our God,
I will seek your well-being.
