122:1 I was glad when they said to me, "Let us go to the LORD's house." |
122:2 And now we are here, standing inside the gates of Jerusalem! |
122:3 Jerusalem is a city restored in beautiful order and harmony. |
122:4 This is where the tribes come, the tribes of Israel, to give thanks to the LORD according to his command. |
122:5 Here the kings of Israel sat to judge their people. |
122:6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: "May those who love you prosper. |
122:7 May there be peace inside your walls and safety in your palaces." |
122:8 For the sake of my relatives and friends I say to Jerusalem, "Peace be with you!" |
122:9 For the sake of the house of the LORD our God I pray for your prosperity. |
