Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem
A song of ascents. Of David.
1I was glad when they said to me,“Let us go to the house of the Lord.”2Our feet are standing in your gates,O Jerusalem.
3Jerusalem is built upas a city united together,4where the tribes go up,the tribes of the Lord,as a testimony for Israel,to give thanks to the name of the Lord.5For there the thrones of judgment stand,the thrones of the house of David.
6Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:“May those who love you prosper.122:6FootnoteOr be secure7May there be peace within your walls,and prosperity 122:7FootnoteOr security inside your fortresses.”8For the sake of my brothers and friends,I will say, “Peace be within you.”9For the sake of the house of the Lord our God,I will seek your prosperity.
