122:1 (A song by David for worship.) It made me glad to hear them say, "Let's go to the house of the LORD!" |
122:2 Jerusalem, we are standing inside your gates. |
122:3 Jerusalem, what a strong and beautiful city you are! |
122:4 Every tribe of the LORD obeys him and comes to you to praise his name. |
122:5 David's royal throne is here where justice rules. |
122:6 Jerusalem, we pray that you will have peace, and that all will go well for those who love you. |
122:7 May there be peace inside your city walls and in your palaces. |
122:8 Because of my friends and my relatives, I will pray for peace. |
122:9 And because of the house of the LORD our God, I will work for your good. |
