Psalm 122:1-9 NLT

[1] I was glad when they said to me, "Let us go to the house of the LORD." [2] And now here we are, standing inside your gates, O Jerusalem. [3] Jerusalem is a well-built city; its seamless walls cannot be breached. [4] All the tribes of Israel-the LORD's people- make their pilgrimage here. They come to give thanks to the name of the LORD, as the law requires of Israel. [5] Here stand the thrones where judgment is given, the thrones of the dynasty of David. [6] Pray for peace in Jerusalem. May all who love this city prosper. [7] O Jerusalem, may there be peace within your walls and prosperity in your palaces. [8] For the sake of my family and friends, I will say, "May you have peace." [9] For the sake of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek what is best for you, O Jerusalem.
