Psalms 122:1-9

Psalms 122:1-9 NCV

I was happy when they said to me, “Let’s go to the Temple of the LORD.” Jerusalem, we are standing at your gates. Jerusalem is built as a city with the buildings close together. The tribes go up there, the tribes who belong to the LORD. It is the rule in Israel to praise the LORD at Jerusalem. There the descendants of David set their thrones to judge the people. Pray for peace in Jerusalem: “May those who love her be safe. May there be peace within her walls and safety within her strong towers.” To help my relatives and friends, I say, “Let Jerusalem have peace.” For the sake of the Temple of the LORD our God, I wish good for her.
