Psalm 122
I was glad when they said to me
: ‘Let us go to the house of the Lord.’
And now our feet are standing
: within your gates, O Jerusalem;
Jerusalem which is built as a city
: where the pilgrims gather in unity.
There the tribes go up, the tribes of the Lord
: as he commanded Israel, to give thanks to the name of the Lord.
There are set thrones of judgement
: the thrones of the house of David.
O pray for the peace of Jerusalem
: may those who love you prosper.
Peace be within your walls
: and prosperity in your palaces.
For the sake of my brothers and companions
: I will pray that peace be with you.
For the sake of the house of the Lord our God
: I will seek for your good.
