Psalm 122 :: New American Standard Bible 1995 (NASB95)

Prayer for the Peace of Jerusalem.

Psa 122:1A Song of Ascents, of David.
I was glad when they said to me,
“Let us go to the house of the LORD.”

Psa 122:2Our feet are standing
Within your gates, O Jerusalem,

Psa 122:3Jerusalem, that is built
As a city that is compact together;

Psa 122:4To which the tribes go up, even the tribes of [fn]the LORD—
[fn]An ordinance for Israel—
To give thanks to the name of the LORD.

The thrones of the house of David.

And prosperity within your palaces.”

I will now say, “May peace be within you.”

I will seek your good.
