Psalm122
Jerusalem the Site of God’s Presence
A song of ascents. Of David.
1I rejoiced in those who said to me,“Let us go to the house of Yahweh.”2Our feet are standingwithin your gates, O Jerusalem—3Jerusalem that is builtas a city that is joined together,4where the tribes go up,the tribes of Yah as a testimony for Israel,to give thanks to the name of Yahweh.5For there the thrones sit for judgment,thrones of David’s house.6Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:“May those who love you be at ease.7May peace be within your walls,security within your palaces.”8For the sake of my brothers and my friends,I will say, “Peace be within you.”9For the sake of the house of Yahweh our God,I will seek your good.Logos Bible Software
