Psalm 122:1-9 GNT

[1] I was glad when they said to me, "Let us go to the LORD's house." [2] And now we are here, standing inside the gates of Jerusalem! [3] Jerusalem is a city restored in beautiful order and harmony. [4] This is where the tribes come, the tribes of Israel, to give thanks to the LORD according to his command. [5] Here the kings of Israel sat to judge their people. [6] Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: "May those who love you prosper. [7] May there be peace inside your walls and safety in your palaces." [8] For the sake of my relatives and friends I say to Jerusalem, "Peace be with you!" [9] For the sake of the house of the LORD our God I pray for your prosperity.
