Psalms 122
Easy-to-Read Version, 2006
- 1I was happy when the people said, “Let us go to the LORD’s Temple.”
- 2Here we are, standing at the gates of Jerusalem.
- 3This is New Jerusalem! The city has been rebuilt as one united city.
- 4This is where the tribes come, the tribes who belong to the LORD. The people of Israel come here to praise the LORD’s name.
- 5The kings from David’s family put their thrones here. They set up their thrones to judge the people.
- 6Pray for peace in Jerusalem: “May those who love you find peace.
- 7May there be peace within your walls. May there be safety in your great buildings.”
- 8For the good of my family and neighbors, I pray that there will be peace here.
- 9For the good of the Temple of the LORD our God, I pray that good things will happen to this city.
