PSALM 122  

(A song of ascents. By David)

​

I was glad when they said to me, “The house of Adonai! Let’s go!”
Our feet were already standing at your gates, Yerushalayim.

Yerushalayim, built as a city fostering friendship and unity.

​

The tribes have gone up there, the tribes of Adonai,
as a witness to Isra’el, to give thanks to the name of Adonai.

For there the thrones of justice were set up, the thrones of the house of David.

​

Pray for shalom in Yerushalayim; may those who love you prosper.

May shalom be within your ramparts, prosperity in your palaces.

For the sake of my family and friends, I say, “Shalom be within you!”

For the sake of the house of Adonai our God, I will seek your well-being.
