Psalm 122
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

Psalm 122

Song of Praise and Prayer for Jerusalem

A Song of Ascents. Of David.

1 I was glad when they said to me,
    “Let us go to the house of the Lord!”(A)
2 Our feet are standing
    within your gates, O Jerusalem.

3 Jerusalem—built as a city
    that is bound firmly together.(B)
4 To it the tribes go up,
    the tribes of the Lord,
as was decreed for Israel,
    to give thanks to the name of the Lord.(C)
5 For there the thrones for judgment were set up,
    the thrones of the house of David.(D)

6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:
    “May they prosper who love you.(E)
7 Peace be within your walls
    and security within your towers.”
8 For the sake of my relatives 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 good.(F)
