Jerusalem the Site of God’s Presence
122 A song of ascents. Of David.a
1 I rejoiced in those who said to me,
“Let us go to the houseb of Yahweh.”
within your gates, O Jerusalem—
as a city that is joined together,
the tribes of Yahc as a testimony for Israel,
to give thanks to the name of Yahweh.
5 For there the thrones sitd for judgment,
thrones of David’s house.
6 Praye for the peace of Jerusalem:
“May those who love you be at ease.
7 May peace be within your walls,
security within your palaces.”
8 For the sake of my brothers and my friends,
I will say, “Peace be within you.”
9 For the sake of the housef of Yahweh our God,
I will seek your good.
