Psalm 122

New International Version - UK

³ Jerusalem is built like a city
    that is closely compacted together.
⁴ 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.
⁵ There stand the thrones for judgment,
    the thrones of the house of David.

⁶ Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:
    ‘May those who love you be secure.
⁷ May there be peace within your walls
    and security within your citadels.’
⁸ For the sake of my family and friends,
    I will say, ‘Peace be within you.’
⁹ For the sake of the house of the Lord our God,
    I will seek your prosperity.
