Psalm 122:1-9 CEV

[1] It made me glad to hear them say, "Let's go to the house of the LORD!" [2] Jerusalem, we are standing inside your gates. [3] Jerusalem, what a strong and beautiful city you are! [4] Every tribe of the LORD obeys him and comes to you to praise his name. [5] David's royal throne is here where justice rules. [6] Jerusalem, we pray that you will have peace, and that all will go well for those who love you. [7] May there be peace inside your city walls and in your palaces. [8] Because of my friends and my relatives, I will pray for peace. [9] And because of the house of the LORD our God, I will work for your good.
