Prayer for the Peace of Jerusalem.

A Song of Ascents, of David.

122 I was glad when they said to me,
“Let’s (A)go to the house of the Lord.”
Our feet are standing
Within your (B)gates, Jerusalem,
Jerusalem, that has been (C)built
As a city that is (D)firmly joined together;
To which the tribes (E)go up, the tribes of [a]the Lord
[b]An ordinance for Israel—
To give thanks to the name of the Lord.

Psalm 122

A song of ascents. Of David.

I rejoiced with those who said to me,
    “Let us go to the house of the Lord.”
Our feet are standing
    in your gates, Jerusalem.

Jerusalem is built like a city
    that is closely compacted together.
That is where the tribes go up—
    the tribes of the Lord
to praise the name of the Lord
    according to the statute given to Israel.
