Psalm 122:1-9 CEB

[1] I rejoiced with those who said to me, “Let’s go to the LORD’s house!” [2] Now our feet are standing in your gates, Jerusalem! [3] Jerusalem is built like a city joined together in unity. [4] That is where the tribes go up—the LORD’s tribes! It is the law for Israel to give thanks there to the LORD’s name, [5] because the thrones of justice are there—the thrones of the house of David! [6] Pray that Jerusalem has peace: “Let those who love you have rest. [7] Let there be peace on your walls; let there be rest on your fortifications.” [8] For the sake of my family and friends, I say, “Peace be with you, Jerusalem.” [9] For the sake of the LORD our God’s house I will pray for your good.
