A song of ascents. Of David.
122 1 I rejoiced with those who said to me, "Let us go to the house of our Father." 2 Our feet are standing within your gates, Jerusalem. 3 Jerusalem, built as a city that is bound firmly together, 4 to which the tribes go up, the tribes of our Father, as a decree for Israel, to give thanks to the name of our Father. 5 For there the thrones for judgment were set, the thrones of the house of David.
6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: "May those who love you be at rest. 7 May there be peace within your walls, security within your citadels." 8 For the sake of my brothers and my companions, I will say, "May peace be within you." 9 For the sake of the house of our Father I will seek your good.
