Encouragement from Psalms 5-2-24

Psalm 122

New American Standard Bible

Prayer for the Peace of Jerusalem.

A Song of Ascents, of David.

122 I was glad when they said to me,

“Let’s go to the house of the Lord.”

2 Our feet are standing

Within your gates, Jerusalem,

3 Jerusalem, that has been built

As a city that is firmly joined together;

4 To which the tribes go up, the tribes of [a]the Lord—

[b]An ordinance for Israel—

To give thanks to the name of the Lord.

5 For thrones were set there for judgment,

The thrones of the house of David.

6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:

“May they prosper who love you.

7 May peace be within your walls,

And prosperity within your palaces.”

8 For the sake of my brothers and my friends,

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

9 For the sake of the house of the Lord our God,

I will seek your good.
