Psalm 122

• Read my Psalm 122 Meditation: The Destination
• Read my Psalm 122 poem from A New Song.

A Song of Ascents. Of David.
 I was glad when they said to me, 
     “Let us go to the house of the LORD!” 
 Our feet have been standing 
     within your gates, O Jerusalem! 
 Jerusalem—built as a city 
     that is bound firmly together, 
     to which the tribes go up, 
     the tribes of the LORD, 
     as was decreed for Israel, 
     to give thanks to the name of the LORD. 
 There thrones for judgment were set, 
     the thrones of the house of David. 
 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem! 
     “May they be secure who love you! 
     Peace be within your walls 
     and security within your towers!” 
 For my brothers and companions' sake 
     I will say, “Peace be within you!” 
 For the sake of the house of the LORD our God, 
     I will seek your good.
