Psalms of David - Modern Translation - Psalm 122

I rejoiced when they said to me, 
“Let us go to the house of the Lord.”

Our feet are standing within your gates, O Jerusalem!

Jerusalem is built as a city bound firmly together,
To which the tribes go up—the tribes of the Lord—
as a testimony to Israel, 
to give thanks to the name of the Lord.

There the thrones for judgment are set, 
the thrones of the house of David.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: 
“May those who love you prosper.

May peace be within your walls, 
and security within your citadels.”

For the sake of my brothers and friends, 
I will say, “Peace be upon you.”

For the sake of the house of the Lord our God, 
I will seek your good.
