Psalm 122:1-9 ERV

[1] I was happy when the people said, "Let us go to the LORD's Temple." [2] Here we are, standing at the gates of Jerusalem. [3] This is New Jerusalem! The city has been rebuilt as one united city. [4] This is where the tribes come, the tribes who belong to the LORD. The people of Israel come here to praise the LORD's name. [5] The kings from David's family put their thrones here. They set up their thrones to judge the people. [6] Pray for peace in Jerusalem: "May those who love you find peace. [7] May there be peace within your walls. May there be safety in your great buildings." [8] For the good of my family and neighbors, I pray that there will be peace here. [9] For the good of the Temple of the LORD our God, I pray that good things will happen to this city.
