Prayer for the Peace of Jerusalem.

A Song of Ascents, of David.

Psalm 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.
