Psalm 122:1-9

              I was glad when they said to me,

            “Let us go to the house of the LORD.”

           Our feet are standing

            Within your gates, O Jerusalem,

           Jerusalem, that is built

            As a city that is compact together;

           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.

           For there thrones were set for judgment,

            The thrones of the house of David.

           Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:

            “May they prosper who love you.

           “May peace be within your walls,

            And prosperity within your palaces.”

           For the sake of my brothers and my friends,

            I will now say, “May peace be within you.”

           For the sake of the house of the LORD our God,

            I will seek your good.
