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.

A song of David for going up to the Temple.
1I was happy when the people said,
“Let us go to the Lord’s Temple.”
2Here we are, standing at the gates of Jerusalem.
3This is New Jerusalem!
The city has been rebuilt as one united city.
4This is where the tribes come, the tribes who belong to the Lord.
The people of Israel come here to praise the Lord’s name.
5The kings from David’s family put their thrones here.
They set up their thrones to judge the people.
6Pray for peace in Jerusalem:
“May those who love you find peace.
7May there be peace within your walls.
May there be safety in your great buildings.”
8For the good of my family and neighbors,
I pray that there will be peace here.
9For the good of the Temple of the Lord our God,
I pray that good things will happen to this city.
