Psalm 122
Christian Standard Bible Anglicised
A Prayer for Jerusalem
A song of ascents. Of David.
122 I rejoiced with those who said to me,
‘Let’s go to the house of the Lord.’(A)
2 Our feet were standing
within your gates, Jerusalem(B) –
3 Jerusalem, built as a city should be,
solidly united,(C)
4 where the tribes, the Lord’s tribes, go up
to give thanks to the name of the Lord.(D)
(This is an ordinance for Israel.(E))
5 There, thrones for judgement are placed,
thrones of the house of David.(F)
6 Pray for the well-being[a] of Jerusalem:
‘May those who love you be secure;(G)
7 may there be peace within your walls,
security within your fortresses.’(H)
8 Because of my brothers and friends,
I will say, ‘May peace be in you.’[b](I)
9 Because of the house of the Lord our God,
I will pursue your prosperity.(J)
