Psalms 122 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

Prayer for the Peace of Jerusalem.

A Song of Ascents, of David.

1. I was glad when they said to me, "Let us go to the house of the Lord."

2. Our feet are standing Within your gates, O Jerusalem,

3. Jerusalem, that is built As a city that is compact together;

4. To which the tribes go up, even the tribes of the Lord- An ordinance for Israel- To give thanks to the name of the Lord.

5. For there thrones were set for judgment, The thrones of the house of David.

6. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: "May they prosper who love you.

7. "May peace be within your walls, And prosperity within your palaces."

8. For the sake of my brothers and my friends, I will now say, "May peace be within you."

9. For the sake of the house of the Lord our God, I will seek your good.
