תהילים (Tehillim) 122

122

A song of ascents, by David. I was glad because they said to me,“We will go to the LORD’s temple.”

2

Our feet are standing inside your gates, O Jerusalem.

3

Jerusalem is a city designed to accommodate an assembly.

4

The tribes go up there, the tribes of the LORD, where it is required that Israel give thanks to the name of the LORD.

5

Indeed, the leaders sit there on thrones and make legal decisions, on the thrones of the house of David.

6

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem! May those who love her prosper!

7

May there be peace inside your defenses, and prosperity inside your fortresses!

8

For the sake of my brothers and my neighbors I will say,“May there be peace in you!”

9

For the sake of the temple of the LORD our God I will pray for you to prosper.
