Psalms 122— CSB

¹A song of ascents. Of David. [1] I rejoiced with those who said to me, “Let us go to the house of the LORD.”

²Our feet were standing within your gates, Jerusalem —

³Jerusalem, built as a city should be, solidly united,

⁴where the tribes, the LORD’s tribes, go up to give thanks to the name of the LORD. (This is an ordinance for Israel. )

⁵There, thrones for judgment are placed, thrones of the house of David.

⁶Pray for the well-being of Jerusalem: “May those who love you be secure;

⁷may there be peace within your walls, security within your fortresses.”

⁸Because of my brothers and friends, I will say, “May peace be in you.”

⁹Because of the house of the LORD our God, I will pursue your prosperity.
