122:1 A song for pilgrims ascending to Jerusalem. A psalm of David. I was glad when they said to me, "Let us go to the house of the LORD."
122:2 And now here we are, standing inside your gates, O Jerusalem.
122:3 Jerusalem is a well-built city; its seamless walls cannot be breached.
122:4 All the tribes of Israel--the LORD's people--make their pilgrimage here. They come to give thanks to the name of the LORD, as the law requires of Israel.
122:5 Here stand the thrones where judgment is given, the thrones of the dynasty of David.
122:6 Pray for peace in Jerusalem. May all who love this city prosper.
122:7 O Jerusalem, may there be peace within your walls and prosperity in your palaces.
122:8 For the sake of my family and friends, I will say, "May you have peace."
122:9 For the sake of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek what is best for you, O Jerusalem.
