122:1 I was glad for the suggestion of going to Jerusalem, to the Temple of the Lord.
122:2 Now we are standing here inside the crowded city.
122:3 Now we are standing here inside the crowded city.
122:4 All Israel—Jehovah’s people—have come to worship as the law requires, to thank and praise the Lord.
122:5 Look! There are the judges holding court beside the city gates, deciding all the people’s arguments.
122:6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. May all who love this city prosper.
122:7 O Jerusalem, may there be peace within your walls and prosperity in your palaces.
122:8 This I ask for the sake of all my brothers and my friends who live here;
122:9 and may there be peace as a protection to the Temple of the Lord.
