Psalm 122

Go to the House of Yahweh

A Song of Ascents. Of David.

1 I was glad when they said to me,
“Let us go to the house of Yahweh.”
2 Our feet are standing
Within your gates, O Jerusalem,
3 Jerusalem, which is built
As a city joined altogether;
4 To which the tribes, the tribes of Yah, go up—
A testimony for Israel—
To give thanks to the name of Yahweh.
5 For there, thrones sit 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 tranquility 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 Yahweh our God,
I will seek your good.
