1 A Song of degrees of David.
I WAS glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the Lord.
2 Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem.
3 Jerusalem is builded as a city that is compact together:
4 Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of the Lord, unto the testimony of Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the Lord.
5 For there are set thrones of judgment, the thrones of the house of David.
6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.
7 Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces.
8 For my brethren and companions’ sakes, I will now say, Peace be within thee.
9 Because of the house of the Lord our God I will seek thy good.

1 A song of ascents. Of David. I rejoiced when they said to me, “Let us go to the house of the LORD.”

2 And now our feet are standing within your gates, Jerusalem.

3 Jerusalem, built as a city, walled round about.

4 There the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, As it was decreed for Israel, to give thanks to the name of the LORD.

5 There are the thrones of justice, the thrones of the house of David.

6 For the peace of Jerusalem pray: “May those who love you prosper!

7 May peace be within your ramparts, prosperity within your towers.”

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

9 For the sake of the house of the LORD, our God, I pray for your good.

Psalm 122 As Pilgrim neared the temple gate with in the city walls they could of sang this.

v 1,2 David is the pilgrim who is expressing joy, fellowship and unity as he enters the gates to worship.

v 3-5 He honors Jerusalem, packed with pilgrims coming to the center of worship.

 

 

 

 

v 6-9 We need to still pray for the peace of Jerusalem in the midst of her troubles. Woe to nations that shun or seek her harm. He is seeking the good of Jerusalem in v 9.
