Psalms Chapter 122 (New International Version)
A song of ascents. Of David.
1 I rejoiced with those who said to me,
"Let us go to the house of the Lord." 2 Our feet are standing
in your gates, Jerusalem.
"Let us go to the house of the Lord." 2 Our feet are standing
in your gates, Jerusalem.
3 Jerusalem is built like a city
that is closely compacted together. 4 That is where the tribes go up—
the tribes of the Lord—
to praise the name of the Lord
according to the statute given to Israel. 5 There stand the thrones for judgment,
the thrones of the house of David.

6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:
"May those who love you be secure. 7 May there be peace within your walls
and security within your citadels." 8 For the sake of my family and friends,
I will say, "Peace be within you." 9 For the sake of the house of the Lord our God,
I will seek your prosperity.
