Psalm 122 - Tree of Life Version

Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem

¹ A Song of Ascents. Of David. I rejoiced when they said to me, “Let us go to the House of Adonai.”

² Our feet are standing in your gates, Jerusalem—

³ Jerusalem, built as a city joined together.

⁴ There the tribes go up, the tribes of Adonai —as a testimony to Israel— to praise the Name of Adonai.

⁵ For there thrones for judgment are set up, the thrones of the house of David.

⁶ Pray for the peace of Jerusalem— “May those who love you be at peace!

⁷ May there be shalom within your walls— quietness within your palaces.”

⁸ For the sake of my brothers and friends, I now say: “Shalom be within you.”

⁹ For the sake of the House of Adonai our God, I will seek your good.
