Chapter 122
1 I was glad when they said to me , " Let ’s go to Yahweh ’s house !"
2 Our feet are standing within your gates , Jerusalem !
3 Jerusalem is built as a city that is compact together ,
4 where the tribes go up , even Yah ’s tribes , according to an ordinance for Israel , to give thanks to Yahweh ’s name .
5 For there are set thrones for judgment , the thrones of David ’s house .
6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem . Those who love you will prosper .
7 Peace be within your walls , and prosperity within your palaces.
8 For my brothers’ and companions ’ sakes, I will now say , " Peace be within you ."
9 For the sake of the house of Yahweh our God , I will seek your good .
