122:1 A song to sing as we climb. David wrote this song. It made me very happy when people said to me, ‘We will go to the house of the Lord.’
122:2 Now we have arrived! We are standing inside your gates, Jerusalem!
122:3 Jerusalem is a strong city where many people can meet together.
122:4 Israel's tribes who belong to the Lord go up there. They go there to thank the Lord, as he has commanded them.
122:5 Israel's leaders sit there to judge the people. They sit on the thrones of King David's descendants.
122:6 Pray that there will be peace in Jerusalem. Pray that people who love Jerusalem will be safe.
122:7 Yes, I pray that there will be peace inside the city's walls. I pray people will be safe in their strong houses.
122:8 Because of my family and my friends I will pray, ‘Please let there be peace in Jerusalem.’
122:9 Because of the house of the Lord our God, I will pray for good things to happen in Jerusalem.
