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.

Jerusalem the Site of God’s Presence
A song of ascents. Of David.#The Hebrew Bible counts the superscription as the first verse of the psalm
1I rejoiced in those who said to me,
“Let us go to the house#Or “temple” of Yahweh.”
2Our feet are standing
within your gates, O Jerusalem—
3Jerusalem that is built
as a city that is joined together,
4where the tribes go up,
the tribes of Yah#A shortened form of “Yahweh” as a testimony for Israel,
to give thanks to the name of Yahweh.
5For there the thrones sit#That is, rulers or judges on thrones for judgment,
thrones of David’s house.
6Pray#Hebrew “Ask” for the peace of Jerusalem:
“May those who love you be at ease.
7May peace be within your walls,
security within your palaces.”
8For the sake of my brothers and my friends,
I will say, “Peace be within you.”
