Psalms 122— NLT

1I was glad when they said to me, "Let us go to the house of the LORD."

2And now we are standing here inside your gates, O Jerusalem.

3Jerusalem is a well-built city, knit together as a single unit.

4All the people of Israel--the LORD's people--make their pilgrimage here. They come to give thanks to the name of the LORD as the law requires.

5Here stand the thrones where judgment is given, the thrones of the dynasty of David.

6Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. May all who love this city prosper.

7O Jerusalem, may there be peace within your walls and prosperity in your palaces.

8For the sake of my family and friends, I will say, "Peace be with you."

9For the sake of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek what is best for you, O Jerusalem.
