122:1 A song of ascents. Of David. I rejoiced with those who said to me, ‘Let us go to the house of the Lord.’
122:2 Our feet are standing in your gates, Jerusalem.
122:3 Jerusalem is built like a city that is closely compacted together.
122:4 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.
122:5 There stand the thrones for judgment, the thrones of the house of David.
122:6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: ‘May those who love you be secure.
122:7 May there be peace within your walls and security within your citadels.’
122:8 For the sake of my family and friends, I will say, ‘Peace be within you.’
122:9 For the sake of the house of the Lord our God, I will seek your prosperity.
