Psalms 122

Common English Bible CEB

1 I rejoiced with those who said to me, "Let's go to the LORD's house!"

2 Now our feet are standing in your gates, Jerusalem!

3 Jerusalem is built like a city joined together in unity.

4 That is where the tribes go up— the LORD's tribes! It is the law for Israel to give thanks there to the LORD's name,

5 because the thrones of justice are there— the thrones of the house of David!

6 Pray that Jerusalem has peace: "Let those who love you have rest.

7 Let there be peace on your walls; let there be rest on your fortifications."

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

9 For the sake of the LORD our God's house I will pray for your good.
