NIV ▾Psalms ▾122 ▾Psalms 1221I rejoiced with those who said to me, “Let us go to the house of the Lord .”2Our feet are standing in your gates, Jerusalem.3Jerusalem is built like a city that is closely compacted together.4That is where the tribes go up— the tribes of the Lord — to praise the name of the Lord according to the statute given to Israel.5There stand the thrones for judgment, the thrones of the house of David.6Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: “May those who love you be secure.7May there be peace within your walls and security within your citadels.”8For the sake of my family and friends, I will say, “Peace be within you.”9For the sake of the house of the Lord our God, I will seek your prosperity.Psalms 121Psalms 123
